(Problem) To reliably allow braking control, allowing control only by stepping on an accelerator pedal. (Solution) An accelerator pedal operation error resolution device (1) has a stepping force conversion pendant body (15) which depends from a pendant pin (13) of a support pillar (14) which is anchored to a brake arm (4), supporting a first rising member (10) with a fluctuation fulcrum pin (6) and a second rising member (17) with an acceleration fulcrum pin (16). The stepping force conversion pendant body movably (15) movably supports a guide member (18), one end wherein makes contact with a chassis (19). A conversion metal fitting (20) houses the pendant pin (13) in the upper part thereof, and has, in the lower protrusion part (20c), a pin (15e) and a lock metal fitting (21). The lock metal fitting (21) and a notch part (18a) of the guide member (18) are either engaged or disengaged. When the guide member (18) and the lock metal fitting (21) are engaged, the movement of the brake arm (4) is restricted, and is allowed when these are disengaged. The first rising member (10) and the second rising member (17) rotate in synchronization until the accelerator pedal (5) is stepped on.
An accelerator pedal malfunction elimination apparatus having a brake arm having a brake pedal fixed to one end and the other end attached to a pivot to perform a braking operation by rotary movement, an accelerator pedal stepping force transmission member having an accelerator pedal fixed to one end, a rocking fulcrum pin loosely inserted into an intermediate portion, and an accelerator wire locked onto the other end, an accelerator linking mechanism constituting a portion of the accelerator pedal stepping force transmission member to transmit a stepping force to the accelerator wire or to release transmission thereof, and a pedal linking mechanism that converts a further stepping force of the accelerator pedal into stepping on the brake pedal after the transmission of the stepping force being released, wherein the brake arm includes a fitting springing out from a neighborhood of an arm bent portion to a side of the accelerator pedal stepping force transmission member, a pillar body fixed to the fitting and having a suspension pin laterally placed in an upper portion thereof, and a stepping force conversion suspended body rotatably suspended from the suspension pin and having the rocking fulcrum pin placed laterally in a protruding portion on a pedal side at a lower end of the suspended body, the accelerator pedal stepping force transmission member includes a first rising member rotatably attached via the rocking fulcrum pin and to which a return spring to return to an initial position when the accelerator pedal is released is annexed and a second rising member whose base end is rotatably attached to the side opposite to a pedal at the lower end of the stepping force conversion suspended body, the accelerator linking mechanism includes an accelerator linking member provided in the intermediate portion of the second rising member and a movable member annexed to the first rising member to be locked onto or unlocked from the accelerator linking member in accordance with a rotation angle of the first rising member, and the pedal linking mechanism includes a guide member through which the stepping force conversion suspended body is inserted and having one end abutting on a wall, a linking connection member connecting the suspension pin and the first rising member to link both in accordance with the rotation angle of the first rising member, a conversion fitting supported by a bearing provided in the intermediate portion of the stepping force conversion suspended body, a conversion fitting rotating member capable of rotating the conversion fitting by abutting on the conversion fitting when the linking connection member rotates, and a lock fitting rotatably suspended from the conversion fitting to allow a lower locking portion to be locked onto or unlocked from a notch portion of the guide member.
