Pedal device

A pedal device comprising:

• a pedal rotating about a rotation shaft when being stepped on by an operator;
• an elastic member configured to be deformed by a force from the pedal when the pedal rotates, and to generate a reaction force against a pedaling force of the operator;
• a housing defining a housing space that houses the elastic member, and provided to rotatably support the pedal;
• and
• a support member configured to support the elastic member, wherein
• the housing includes an opening portion that defines an opening space opening in one direction,
• the opening space of the housing communicates with the housing space,
• the support member and the housing are connected to each other to surround the elastic member while the opening space of the housing is closed by the support member,
• the elastic member is arranged in the housing space,
• the support member further includes
• a support portion that supports the elastic member,
• an extension that extends from the support portion in an extending direction opposite to the one direction, and
• a claw that is connected to the extension and extends from the extension in a direction intersecting the extending direction in which the extension extends,
• the housing includes
• a first space into which the extension of the support member is inserted, and
• a second space that communicates with the first space and into which the claw is inserted, and
• the housing is engaged with the support member by the claw that is in contact with the housing.
