A pedal apparatus for a vehicle, includes a pedal pad rotatably coupled to an upper end portion of a foldable pedal arm so that a contact area may be increased when a driver's foot comes into contact with the pedal pad, which makes it possible to improve convenience and safety for the driver when the driver performs the pedal operation.

An accelerator device includes a case provided on a floor, a pad arranged outside the case to be stepped on by a driver, a pedal arranged in the case to be rotatable in an accelerator opening direction by a stepping force of the pad, an arm connecting the pad to the pedal, and a biasing member configured to bias the pedal in an accelerator closing direction. One end of the arm is press-fitted into a connecting portion of the pad in a press-fitting direction. At least one of the arm or the pad is provided with a play removing part that is configured to eliminate a play between the one end of the arm and the connecting portion in the press-fitting direction by contacting the one end of the arm and the connecting portion.

A shift device including: a shift body that is rotatable to change a shift position; an installation body, relative to which the shift body rotates; a contact portion that is provided to one of the shift body or the installation body; a contact member that is provided to the other of the shift body or the installation body, and that makes contact with the contact portion such that a force acts to rotate the shift body from between shift positions toward a shift position side; a rotation portion that causes the shift body to rotate such that a shift position of the shift body is changed; and a release mechanism that releases contact of the contact member with the contact portion when the rotation portion causes the shift body to rotate.

A vehicle pedal bracket includes a plate-like base plate portion fixed to a vehicle cabin side of a dash panel that separates an engine room and a vehicle cabin from each other, a support portion that is fixedly fitted to the base plate portion and by which a pedal arm is pivotably supported, and a plurality of tubular spacers fixedly fitted to the base plate portion, the vehicle pedal bracket is fixed to the dash panel with a plurality of screw members respectively inserted through the plurality of spacers, a plurality of tubular holding portions is disposed so as to project from a back side of the base plate portion, the back side is on the dash panel side, and so as to be in close contact with outer peripheral faces of the plurality of spacers, and a sound absorbing structural portion having a large number of bottomed holes.

Noise is prevented from occurring in voice data acquired by a microphone due to an operation of an input stick. An input device (10) includes an upper cabinet section (41) having an opening formed therein, an input stick (31) movable inside the opening, and a buffer member (46) that is provided on an inner edge of the opening of the upper cabinet section (41) and is made of a material different from a material of the inner edge of the opening and from a material of an outer peripheral surface of the input stick (31).
