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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: An accelerator device includes a stepping member that receives a stepping by a driver, a case attachable to a vehicle body, an internal movable mechanism housed in the case, and a rotation angle detector. The internal movable mechanism includes a shaft that rotates in respond to a stepping to the stepping member, and the rotation angle detector outputs a signal corresponding to a rotation angle of the shaft via a plurality of terminals. Output ends of the plurality of terminals are arranged in an arrangement different from a line arrangement when being viewed from an output side of the plurality of terminals.
