Abstract

Ein Pedal (14) mit einem schwenkbar gelagerten, mittels eines als Schenkelfeder (11) ausgebildeten Rückstellfederelementes (12) in eine Grundstellung vorgespannten Pedalarm (3) hat einen Reibkörper (15), welcher mittels des Rückstellfederelementes (12) gegen eine Reibfläche (18, 19) vorgespannt ist. Der Reibkörper (15) ist erfindungsgemäß als Exzenterscheibe ausgeführt und ermöglicht so neben einer Hysterese auch einen nicht-linearen Verlauf der Pedalbetätigungskraft (FP).

A pedal (14) with a pivotally mounted pedal arm (3), which is biased into a basic position by means of a return spring element (12) designed as a leg spring (11), has a friction body (15), which by means of the return spring element (12) bears against a friction surface (18, 19) is biased. According to the invention, the friction body (15) is designed as an eccentric disc and, in addition to hysteresis, also enables a non-linear course of the pedal actuation force (F P ).
