Abstract: A shock absorbing device includes a mounting bracket which is fastened at a first end thereof to the vehicle body and removably mounted at a second end thereof to the vehicle body, an upper pedal arm which is rotatably mounted to the mounting bracket using a hinge shaft, and a lower pedal arm which is removably coupled to the upper pedal arm using a locking pin. The shock absorbing device further includes a locking pin removal device which removes the lower pedal arm from the upper pedal arm when a vehicle collision occurs, and a guide device which serves as a guide for movement of the mounting bracket when the vehicle collision occurs and provides a reaction force for the locking pin removal device.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a shock absorbing device of a brake pedal. In the present invention, when a frontal vehicle collision occurs, the brake pedal is rotated in the forward direction of the vehicle, that is, in a direction moving away from a driver, thus reducing the speed of impact of the driver's leg against the brake pedal, thereby minimizing injury to the driver. To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the shock absorbing device of the present invention includes a mounting bracket which is fastened at a first end thereof to the vehicle body and removably mounted at a second end thereof to the vehicle body, an upper pedal arm which is rotatably mounted to the mounting bracket using a hinge shaft, and a lower pedal arm which is removably coupled to the upper pedal arm using a locking pin.

Abstract: A pedal apparatus of a vehicle according to the present invention comprises a supporting bracket fixed to a dash panel of the vehicle, a pedal arm pivotally connected to the supporting bracket, and a lever hooked to the pedal arm and applying a predetermined torque to the pedal arm, wherein the lever is struck by a striking portion under deformation by a front impact of the vehicle causing the pedal arm to rotate in a direction of the front of the vehicle by torque transferred from the lever.
