OPERATION AMOUNT DETECTION DEVICE

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18701799 titled 'OPERATION AMOUNT DETECTION DEVICE

Original Abstract Submitted

An operation amount detection device including a first member rotational about a rotation center axis by an operation force input to a pedal and transmitting rotation torque. A second member receives, from a reaction force member, a reaction force of the transmitted torque, the second member being rotatable about the rotation center axis and axially movable relative to the first member and being interposed between the first member and the reaction force member. A conversion mechanism converts rotation of the first member into a relative movement of the first member and the second member axially to convert the rotation torque into a thrust force in the axial direction and an elastic body is provided apart from the reaction force member and configured to be elastically deformed by the thrust force. A detection element is fixed to the elastic body and detects a deformation amount of the elastic body.
