VEHICLE WITH A PEDAL SUPPORT STRUCTURE COMPRISING AN ANTI-COLLISION SAFETY MECHANISM

"The invention relates to a pedal support structure for a vehicle, said vehicle comprising a passenger compartment, a wall (2), which is disposed in the front part of the passenger compartment, and a deformation-resistant transverse element (9). The inventive support structure comprises a support part (1) which is joined to the above-mentioned wall (2), an intermediate safety device (3) which is connected to said support part (1) and at least one pedal (6) which rotates around a shaft (7). The shaft (7) is connected to the intermediate device (3) and, in the event of a head-on collision, said intermediate device (3) moves the shaft (7) towards the passenger compartment under the force of the deformation-resistant transverse element (9) on said intermediate device (3)."
