PEDAL FORCE REDUCTION DEVICE

A pedal force reduction device for a clutch pedal comprises: a guide section provided with a flange; a first pressing member which, in the initial stage of depression of the clutch pedal, presses the clutch pedal in the direction of returning the clutch pedal to the original position, and which, when the clutch pedal is depressed by a predetermined angle, presses the clutch pedal in the direction of depression of the clutch pedal; a second pressing member having a smaller pressing force than the first pressing member, the second pressing member being provided closer to the flange side than the first pressing member while the flange serves as one seating surface for the second pressing member, and pressing the clutch pedal in the direction of depression thereof when the clutch pedal is depressed and the first pressing member has a natural length; a connection member for connecting the first pressing member and the second pressing member, the connection member having a first protruding rim serving as a seating surface for the first pressing member, the connection member also having a second protruding rim serving as the other seating surface for the second pressing member. The pedal force reduction device further comprises a rubber cushion member provided in order to prevent, when the clutch pedal returns to the original position, the connection member from interfering with a seating surface of the second pressing member and generating a hitting sound, the rubber cushion member being provided in a gap occurring between the first protruding rim and the flange when the clutch pedal is depressed and the first pressing member has the natural length. Cette invention concerne un dispositif de réduction de force de pédale destiné à une pédale d'embrayage, comprenant : une section de guidage pourvue d'une bride ; un premier élément de pression qui, au stade initial d'enfoncement de la pédale d'embrayage, appuie sur la pédale d'embrayage dans la direction de retour de la pédale d'embrayage à la position d'origine, et qui, lorsque la pédale d'embrayage est enfoncée d'angle prédéterminé, appuie sur la pédale d'embrayage dans la direction d'enfoncement de la pédale d'embrayage ; un second élément de pression présentant une force de pression inférieure à celle du premier élément de pression, le second élément de pression étant disposé plus à proximité du côté de la bride que le premier élément de pression tandis que la bride sert de surface d'assise pour le deuxième élém
