To reduce accidents resulting from erroneous depression of a pedal, by enabling a driver to check contact of his or her foot with an accelerator pedal by means of an alarm light provided within an angle of view of the driver in a vehicle cabin and, accordingly, to provide a foot switch, made of resin, which securely electrically conducts even with a pressure applied by contact of the foot with the accelerator pedal and which can be attached to the accelerator pedal easily.SOLUTION: A structure of a foot switch is as follows: a spacer and binding-band insertion holes are provided between the respective rear parts of long surfaces of two upper and lower elastic resin plates, which correspond to each other; the upper plate is bent downward even with a pressure of 35 g, applied by contact of a foot with a pedal, so that two upper and lower electrodes come into contact with each other, thereby causing electric conduction, which is cancelled by separation of the foot from the pedal. The foot switch made of resin for attachment to an accelerator pedal comprises: fixing means using a fixed band in order to be attached to the accelerator pedal; and a pedal receiver disposed below a leading end of the long-surface front part of the lower plate in order to hold the accelerator pedal.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
【課題】車両内の運転者の視角内に設けた警告灯ライトにより、アクセルペダルに足が触れている事を運転者が確認できればペダル踏み間違い事故の逓減に繋がると思われる。従って、足がアクセルペダルに触れる加圧でも確実に通電し、アクセルペダルに簡単に付設できる樹脂製のフットスイッチを提供しようとするものである。【解決手段】相対応する上下2枚の弾性を有する樹脂プレートの長面後部の間にスペーサーと結束バンド通し穴を内設し、足がペダルに触れる35gの加圧でも上側プレートが下方に撓みプレートに内設した上下2枚の電極板が接触して通電し、足がペダルから離れる動作で通電を解除する構造を特徴とし、又、アクセルペダルに付設する為の固定バンドによる固定手段と共に、下側プレートの長面前部先端の下側にはアクセルペダルを保持する為のペダル受けを配設して成るアクセルペダル付設用樹脂製フットスイッチを提供するものである。【選択図】図1
