The contact member 38b has a sawtooth shape or a wave shape on the surface in close contact with the vehicle body so that the adhesion to the vehicle body is further improved.

Moreover, the base plate 37 is provided with the connecting rod 26 which connects the base plate 37 and the base 20 in the front side surface. Accordingly, the pedestal 20 can be fixed to the vehicle body together with the base plate 37 without a separate fixing mechanism. This connecting rod 2 is preferably adjustable in length so that the distance between the base 2 and the shoe storage mechanism 30 can be adjusted.

The operation of the pedal pad assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention having such a configuration is as follows.

As shown in FIG. 5A, the shoe storage device 30 is maintained in a state in which the storage box 31 is inclined upward while the driver does not ride in the vehicle. At this time, the rotating plate 35 is almost out of the guide groove 37b so that the rear end thereof is located at the front side of the guide portion 37a of the base plate 37. Thereby, the rotating plate 35 is maintained in the state rotated upward by the elasticity of the elastic member 39. FIG. Here, the inclination angle of the storage box 31, that is, the inclination angle of the rotating plate 35 is preferably about 15 to 20 degrees.

The driver moves the shoes directly to the storage box 31 without stepping on the body floor while sitting on the seat when boarding the car. As a result, contamination of the vehicle body floor or the floor mat by dust or the like on the shoes is prevented. The driver takes off the shoes while the shoes are accommodated in the storage box 31. When the holder 31 is held at the above-described angle of 15 to 20 degrees, the driver can put on and take off the shoes most conveniently and easily.

The driver who takes off the shoes removes the foot from the storage box 31 and then presses down the operation rod 34 with the foot. As a result, the rotating plate 35 is rotated downward to overcome the elasticity of the elastic member 39, that is, the torsion coil spring, and becomes horizontal. When the rotating plate 35 is in the horizontal state, the rear side of the rotating plate 35 is inserted into the guide groove 37b by the elasticity of the return spring 36, as shown in FIG. 5B. Accordingly, even if the elastic member 39 is applied to the rotating plate 35, the rotating plate 35 is held in a horizontal state by the guide portion 37b.

The driver may take off the shoes or operate the rotating plate 35 in a horizontal state and then cover the lid to isolate the shoes from the outside. Accordingly, contamination of the vehicle interior by foreign matters on the shoes is completely prevented.

The driver then starts the car and drives the steering wheel and pedals 1 to drive the car. At this time, the driver presses the pads 10 barefoot, and the heel of the driver is placed on the upper surface of the pedestal 20.

In this state, when the driver presses the pad 10 to operate the pedal 1, the pedal 1 and the pad 10 are operated as shown in FIG. When the pedal 1 is pivoted forward with its pivot axis as the zoom axis, the lower pad 12 interferes with the extension 22 of the pedestal 20 and slides backward along the upper surface of the extension 22. Is rotated. When the driver releases the foot from the pad 20 and the pedal 1 returns to its original position, the lower pad 12 is also lifted by the elasticity of the torsion coil spring provided at the engaging portion of the lower pads 11 and 12. It returns to its original state.

Here, the pedestal 20 serves to prevent the driver's heel from directly contacting the body floor and at the same time allows the driver to obtain the same feeling as when operating the pedal 1 while wearing shoes.

When the driver is finished and the driver wants to get out of the vehicle, the driver pushes the operating rod 34 forward with his feet. Then, the storage box 31 and the rotating plate 35 are moved forward, and when the rear end of the rotating plate 35 is moved to the front end of the guide portion 37a of the base plate 37, the elastic member 39 The rotating plate 35 and the holder 31 are rotated upward by elasticity. Since the rotation plate 35 is connected to the base plate 37 by the return spring 36 and is elastically supported toward the rear, the rotation plate 35 does not completely come out of the guide groove 37b.

After the holder 31 is rotated inclined, the driver opens the lid of the holder 31 to wear shoes, and then gets off the vehicle.

On the other hand, if the inside of the storage box 31 is dirty due to the dirt or dust on the shoes, the storage box 31 by separating the engaging member 31a of the storage box 31 from the guide part 35a of the rotating plate 35. The bay can be cleaned separately.

The present invention as described above, because the driver can take off the shoe and store it in the storage box, and then step on the pad with bare feet to prevent the interior of the car from being contaminated by foreign matter such as dirt or dust on the shoe. Not only can it greatly reduce the fatigue of the driver's foot.

The present invention has been shown and described with respect to certain preferred embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs, do not depart from the gist of the technical idea of the present invention described in the utility model registration claims below Various changes can be made within the scope.
