Abstract: In an accelerator device, a pedal is rotatable in an accelerator opening direction by a pedaling force of a pad. An arm connects the pedal to the pad. A biasing member biases the pedal in an accelerator closing direction via the arm. The arm has a shaft portion that is assembled to the pad, and the pad has a pair of support walls that rotatably support the shaft portion. The pair of support walls have wall surfaces facing each other, each of the which is provided with a bearing portion and a thickening portion. The thickening portion includes a curved surface or a slope surface having a surface area broader as a distance from the bearing portion increases.
