Abstract: A pedal pad includes a plate part having a plate shape. When a driver performs a depression operation on a plate part from one side in a plate thickness direction, the pedal pad rotates about an axis perpendicular to an extending direction of the plate part. A shaft member is provided at a position away and downward in a vehicle from the plate part. A housing rotatably supports the shaft member. A connecting portion connects the pedal pad and the shaft member. Such a pedal device is an organ-type pedal device in which a pedal lower end is positioned below in the vehicle than a pedal upper end when the plate part is not subject to the depression operation by the driver in the non-depressed state. The pedal device is provided with a gap between the housing and the pedal lower end.

Abstract: A pedal pad in an organ-type pedal device swings about a predetermined axis when stepped on by a driver's foot. A sensor unit outputs a signal corresponding to a swing angle of the pedal pad. A reaction force generation mechanism generates a reaction force against a driver's stepping force applied to the pedal pad. A first housing holds or covers at least one of a rotation shaft provided at the axis of the swinging of the pedal pad, the sensor unit, and the reaction force generation mechanism. A second housing is made of a rigid portion having a Young's modulus greater than that of the first housing or has the rigid portion at least in part. The second housing is configured to support a portion of the reaction force generation mechanism on one side opposite to the pedal pad by the rigid portion.

Abstract: A pedal pad includes a plate portion having a plate shape extending in a pedal extending direction and having a thickness in a plate thickness direction, and the pedal pad is rotatably movable about a pedal shaft center that is perpendicular to the pedal extending direction by a step-on operation of a driver to the plate portion from one side in the plate thickness direction. The plate portion has one end portion in the pedal extending direction positioned lower in the vehicle than an another end portion in the pedal extending direction in a non-stepping state in which the driver is not performing the step-on operation on the pedal pad. Furthermore, the one end portion of the plate shape of the plate portion extends in the pedal extending direction, more than a position of the pedal shaft.

Abstract: A physical quantity measurement device includes a passage flow channel having an inflow port and an outflow port, a branch flow channel branched from the passage flow channel and having a branch inlet into which the fluid flows from the passage flow channel. The branch flow channel has an inclined branch path inclined with respect to the passage flow channel, and the inclined branch path extends from the branch inlet toward the outflow por. An inclination angle of the branch flow channel at the branch inlet with respect to a virtual straight line connecting the inflow port and the outflow port is smaller than or equal to a predetermined value.

Abstract: A flowmeter is disposed in a passage through which a fluid flows. The flowmeter includes a first passage and a second passage. The first passage defines an opening through which a part of the fluid flows into the flowmeter from the passage. The second passage branches off from the first passage and includes a flow rate detector configured to detect a flow rate of the fluid flowing through the second passage from the first passage. The second passage has one end at which the second passage branches off from the first passage and the other end. The second passage includes at least one end opening at the other end and an inflow reducer configured to restrict the fluid from flowing into the second passage through the at least one end opening.
