Abstract
An apparatus for preventing a vehicle pedal from being pushed rearward upon a head-on collision of the vehicle is provided. The apparatus includes a collision bracket that is fixedly installed on a dash panel and a pedal arm formed by bending a plate along a predetermined reference line to form a cavity in a lengthwise direction thereof. A rotating member is disposed at an end of the pedal arm and strikes one side of the pedal arm upon colliding with the collision bracket, to rotate in a direction toward the inside of a vehicle and to release the pedal arm. A supporting bracket rotatably supports the pedal arm and the rotating member. The rotating member includes a coupling aperture upon which the supporting bracket is hinged and a plurality of arms which are oriented in different directions with respect to the coupling aperture.
