Abstract (en)
The pedal (10) comprises a pedal arm (12) with a lower arm portion (20) which carries a pad (14) and an upper arm portion (18) hinged to a fixed support structure so as to be rotatable around a first axis of rotation (x1). The upper arm portion (18) and the lower arm portion (20) are hinged (22) to each other so as to be rotatable relative to each other around a second axis of rotation (x2) parallel to the first axis of rotation (x1). The pedal (10) further comprises a connection mechanism (26, 36) to releasably connect the upper arm portion (18) with the lower arm portion (20), in such a manner that the pedal (10) is normally kept in a working position, where rotation of the upper arm portion (18) relative to the lower arm portion (20) around the second axis of rotation (x2) is prevented, and is shiftable to a release position, in case of a frontal impact of the vehicle such as to cause a rearward movement of the pedal, that is to say, a movement of the pedal towards the driver, where the upper arm portion (18) and the lower arm portion (20) are freely rotatable relative to each other around the second axis of rotation (x2) to allow forward rotation of the lower arm portion (20).
