Disclosed is a support structure for a vehicle control pedal, which
comprises a pedal bracket (3) supporting the control pedal (4) through a
first support shaft (S1) inserted through a support hole (303), a
swingable lever (7) adapted to, during a vehicle collision, come into
interference with a vehicle body member (6) so as to be swingingly moved
about a second support shaft (S2) while pushing the first support shaft
(S1) downwardly to allow the first support shaft (S1) to drop out of the
support hole (303), and a drop-out restriction member (8) engaged by a
pin member (20) and coupled to the swingable lever (7) in a relatively
unswingable manner, so as to restrict the drop-out of the first support
shaft (S1). The support structure is designed such that, according to the
swing movement of the swingable lever (7) during the vehicle collision,
the restriction on drop-out of the first support shaft (S1) by the
drop-out restriction member (8) is removed to allow the first support
shaft (S1) to drop out of the support hole (303). The support structure
of the present invention can prevent impact energy during a vehicle
collision from being input to a leg of a driver through the control pedal
while reliably restricting accidental drop-out of the control pedal in a
normal condition.
