Accelerator with attachment of pedal arm

An accelerator having an acceleration pedal for performing an acceleration operation, the accelerator comprising:

• a pedal arm having one end portion connected to the acceleration pedal;
• an acceleration rotor made of resin, the acceleration rotor having plural attachment portions, separated from each other in a rotation direction of the acceleration rotor, to which the other end portion of the pedal arm is attached;
• and
• a support member which rotatably supports the acceleration rotor, wherein:
• the acceleration rotor has a curve portion bent in the rotation direction;
• the attachment portions are provided in the curve portion;
• and
• the other end portion of the pedal arm is bent to be attached to the plural attachment portions in such a manner that the acceleration rotor rotates only around a rotation shaft of the acceleration rotor.

An accelerator assembly comprising:

• an accelerator pedal arm having a first operator actuated proximate end and a second bent distal end;
• and
• a rotatably mounted accelerator rotor made of resin and having plural attachment portions angularly spaced about an axis of rotation and adapted for connection to respective spaced-apart portions of said bent distal end of the accelerator pedal arm,
• wherein a virtual line connecting an approximate center of any two attachment portions crosses the edges of the pedal arm extending therebetween.
