Abstract: A pedal device (1) for an automobile includes a supporting frame (2); an accelerator pedal arm (3) made of a rigid metal and supported by the supporting frame (2) in such a manner as to be rotatable about an axis A in directions R; a spring means (4) for rotatively urging the accelerator pedal arm (3) toward an initial position of its rotation; a damper (5) for imparting a resistance force to the rotation in the directions R of the accelerator pedal arm (3); and a stopper for stopping the rotation of the accelerator pedal arm (3) at the initial position of its rotation.
