  "textContent": "The purpose of the present invention is to improve operability of a brake pedal. It is common that an operator pivots his foot about his ankle with his heel being fixed at an initial stage of depression of a brake pedal 10. In a range of large stroke of the brake pedal 10, it is common that the operator depresses the brake pedal 10 by moving the entire foot forwardly with the heel being floated. In the present pedal apparatus, with increase of the stroke of the brake pedal 10, a pivot center C is moved and a pivot radius R is reduced. Therefore, a reference point Pf of the brake pedal 10 is moved diagonally in a forward downward direction at an initial stage of depression of the brake pedal 10, and a change of height of the reference point Pf is made small in a range of large stroke of the brake pedal 10. Consequently, it is possible to cause a trajectory of the reference point Pf of the brake pedal 10 to approximate a movement of the foot of the operator and accordingly to improve the operability.",
