Title:
BEARING STRUCTURE FOR VEHICLE PEDAL DEVICE AND FLANGED BUSHING
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/013337
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention suppresses the occurrence of abnormal sounds and backlash caused by gaps between each section in a vehicle pedal device in which a flanged bushing is disposed between a support member and a boss. The two ends in the axial direction of the cylindrical section (46) of the flanged bushing (42, 44) are both contacted to the inner peripheral surface of the boss (40), and meanwhile a drum shaped section (54) is provided to the intermediate portion in the axial direction of the cylindrical section (46) and at least the minimum diameter section of the drum shaped section (54) is elastically contacted to the outer peripheral surface of a collar (26), and so the drum shaped section (54) is compressed and bent/deformed in the radial direction between the inner peripheral surface of the boss (40) and the outer peripheral surface of the collar (26). Consequently, the support rigidity of the boss (40) is secured by the reaction force resulting from the bending deformation of the drum shaped section (54), and so abnormal sounds, tilting, and backlash in the radial direction of the boss (40) are suppressed.
