Accelerator device

An accelerator device comprising:

• a pedal that is configured to be depressed by a human driver;
• an arm that is coupled to the pedal and is configured to receive a reaction force from a reaction force application device, wherein the reaction force application device is configured to apply the reaction force to the arm against a pedal force applied from the human driver to the pedal;
• a fastener member that is configured to fix the arm to the pedal;
• and
• a positioner that is configured to limit relative movement between the arm and the pedal, wherein:
• the arm has:
• a connector that is coupled with the pedal;
• and
• a through-hole that is formed at the connector and receives the fastener member through the through-hole;
• the positioner includes two positioning planar portions which are parallel to each other and are configured to engage with another member;
• the arm has a reaction force receiving contact surface that is configured to contact a lever of the reaction force application device configured to apply the reaction force to the arm, wherein the reaction force receiving contact surface is configured to receive the reaction force;
• and
• the two positioning planar portions are parallel to the reaction force receiving contact surface.

• the positioner includes:
• a positioning recess that is formed at one of the pedal and the connector;
• and
• a positioning projection that is formed at another one of the pedal and the connector and is configured to be inserted into the positioning recess;
• and
• the two positioning planar portions are formed at least in the positioning recess among the positioning recess and the positioning projection.
