Abstract

An accelerator device includes a pad, a case having an internal accommodation space, an internal movable mechanism, and an arm configured to connect the pad and the internal movable mechanism. When the case is viewed from the side of the pad, a fully open stopper is provided on an outer wall surface of the case at a position in an outer circumference of an area that overlaps with the internal accommodation space.

Claims (29)

1. An accelerator device that is an organ structure type, comprising:

a pad configured to be stepped on by a driver;

a case configured to be attached to a vehicle body and having an internal accommodation space;

an internal movable mechanism housed in the internal accommodation space of the case;

an arm configured to connect the pad and the internal movable mechanism while penetrating an opening provided on an outer wall surface of the case; and

a fully open stopper configured to contact the pad and define a fully open position of the accelerator device, and the fully open stopper being provided on the outer wall surface of the case at a position in an outer circumference of an area that overlaps with the internal accommodation space;

wherein a side surface of the fully open stopper as viewed from a direction orthogonal to a direction of a plate thickness of an upper surface wall defining an upper end of the internal accommodation space is at a same position with respect to an end surface of the upper surface wall or at a position facing the direction of the plate thickness.

2. The accelerator device according to claim 1 , wherein

the case has an accommodation wall that surrounds the internal accommodation space,

the accommodation wall includes the upper surface wall that defines the upper end of the internal accommodation space, and

the fully open stopper is provided at a position on the outer wall surface of the case that intersects the outer wall surface of the case when the upper surface wall is extended along the direction orthogonal to the direction of the plate thickness of the upper surface wall.

3. The accelerator device according to claim 1 , wherein

a contact surface of the fully open stopper in contact with the pad is a plane substantially perpendicular to a stepping direction of the pad.

4. The accelerator device according to claim 1 , wherein

a contact surface of the fully open stopper in contact with the pad has an inclined portion or an R-shaped portion.

5. The accelerator device according to claim 1 , wherein

when the fully open stopper is viewed from a side of the pad, the fully open stopper has an upper side surface forming an upper surface of the fully open stopper, and the upper side surface has an inclined portion inclined to a right side or a left side.

6. The accelerator device according to claim 1 , wherein

an elastic member is provided on a contact surface of the fully open stopper in contact with the pad.

7. The accelerator device according to claim 1 , wherein

the fully open stopper is comprised of a plurality of fully open stoppers.

8. The accelerator device according to claim 1 , wherein the side surface is flat and flush with the upper surface wall.

9. An accelerator device that is an organ structure type, comprising:

a pad configured to be stepped on by a driver;

a case configured to be attached to a vehicle body and having an internal accommodation space;

an internal movable mechanism housed in the internal accommodation space of the case;

an arm configured to connect the pad and the internal movable mechanism while penetrating an opening provided on an outer wall surface of the case; and

a fully open stopper configured to contact the pad and define a fully open position of the accelerator device, and the fully open stopper being provided on the outer wall surface of the case at a position in an outer circumference of an area that overlaps with the internal accommodation space;

wherein an elastic member is provided on a contact surface of the fully open stopper in contact with the pad.
