Abstract: First and second guide members 53 and 54 are fixed to a reinforcing member 9, while a pedal bracket 17 is provided with first and second abutment parts 41 and 42 for guiding the pedal bracket 17. When the pedal bracket 17 is moved backward due to automobile collision, the first abutment part 41 abuts against and slides along the first guide member 53, and then the second abutment part 42 abuts against and slides along the second guide member 54 after the first abutment part 41 has finished sliding along the first guide member 53. Thus, the position of the pedal bracket 17 is changed using both the guide members 53 and 54.

Abstract: A parking brake device includes a booster mechanism having an intermediate lever pivotally supported at a bracket, and a movable pulley supported at a tip end of the intermediate lever. When a first operation cable is pulled by operating a parking brake pedal, the movable pulley around which an intermediate portion of the inner cable is wound is pulled with doubled force, and the doubled pulling force is further boosted due to the lever ratio of the intermediate lever which supports the movable pulley, and is transmitted via an equalizer and a second operation cable to a brake device provided at a wheel with the pulling force boosted to a boost ratio twice as much as the lever ratio. By combining the movable pulley and the intermediate lever, the length of the intermediate lever to obtain the same boost ratio can be made half as compared with the case where only the intermediate lever is used, thereby making the booster mechanism compact.
