| 20100071500 | PEDAL DEVICE OF AUTOMOTIVE VEHICLE - There is provided a pedal device of an automotive vehicle, which comprises a plate-shaped pedal body, a lower end of which is rotatably supported at a pivot (support axis) which is disposed on a vehicle floor at a position where a foot of a driver seated in a driver's seat is to be located, the pedal body being provided so as to rotate around the pivot and swing longitudinally according to a pressing operation of the driver's foot, and a slant-face member which is provided behind the pivot which supports the lower end of the pedal body, the slant-face member having a slant upper face which extends obliquely rearward and downward with a slant angle within a rage of 13.5 to 23.5 degrees. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20100263469 | FLOOR STRUCTURE OF DRIVER'S SEAT FOR AUTOMOTIVE VEHICLE - A floor structure of a driver's seat for an automotive vehicle comprises an organ type of accelerator pedal supported swingably at a support point with its lower-end hinge portion, a hanging type of brake pedal provided beside the accelerator pedal and supported swingably at a support point with its upper pivotal portion, a floor mat covering an upper face of a front portion of a floor panel located in front of the driver's seat, and an incline forming member provided at a specified portion of the floor mat located in back of a pressing-face board of the accelerator pedal, the incline forming member forming an incline portion at an upper face of a heel placing area on which a driver's heel is placed, the incline portion being inclined so that its front portion is positioned at a higher level than its rear portion. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20110068608 | DRIVING POSITION ADJUSTING APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE - A driving position adjusting apparatus for a vehicle comprises a driver's seat provided on a floor panel of a vehicle compartment, an operational pedal, such as an accelerator pedal, which is operated by a driver seated in the driver's seat, an incline-face portion which is provided on the floor panel, on which a heel of the driver operating the operational pedal is placed, the incline-face portion having an upper face which is inclined so that a front portion thereof is located at a higher position than a rear portion thereof, and a heel-placement height adjusting device which adjusts a height position of the driver's heel placed on the incline-face portion at least by moving up or down the incline-face portion. | 03-24-2011 |
| 20110233967 | FLOOR PANEL STRUCTURE OF VEHICLE - In a vehicle in which a driver's seat is provided on a floor panel and an operational pedal, such as a brake pedal, is provided in front of the driver's seat, a slant floor portion is provided in an area of the floor panel where a heel of a driver pressing the operational pedal is placed. This slant floor portion slants with a specified slant degree in such a manner that its front portion is positioned at a higher level than its rear portion. An interference avoidance portion which is comprised of a horizontal face portion is provided in front of the slant floor portion. This interference avoidance portion has a slant degree which is smaller than the specified slant degree of the slant floor portion so as to avoid interference with the heel of the driver's foot. | 09-29-2011 |
