Pedal displacement prevention structure for a vehicle and a vehicle thereof

Abstract

A vehicular pedal displacement prevention structure has a rotatable lever, which can be brought into contact with a pedal arm, provided at an end of an extending side of a pedal bracket, and a guide member opposed to the rotatable lever provided in a deck cross pipe disposed at the rear of a vehicle to be remote from a dash panel. When an external force equal to or greater than a predetermined value is applied to the front of the vehicle to move a pedal bracket toward the rear of the vehicle, the rotatable member is brought into contact with the guide member, which causes the rotatable member to rotate. The rotating action of the rotatable lever relatively displaces the pedal arm toward the front of the vehicle. This prevents rearward displacement of a pedal in a head-on collision of the vehicle with a simple structure that does not require high assembling accuracy.
