Actuating pedal for the brake system of road vehicles

[0017]Referring to the drawings in particular, the actuating pedal for the brake system of a road vehicle, which is designated by 1 in its entirety in FIG. 1, has essentially a pedal body 2, an actuating surface 3, a connection device 4 to a brake power booster module 5, and a fastening device 6 for fixing the actuating pedal 1 on a pedal block 7 of the road vehicle, which said pedal block is a rigid part of the body.

[0018]The pedal body 2 comprises two inner metal cores 8, which are completely surrounded by a plastic jacketing 9 consisting of PA 6 or PA 6.6 / GF, as is apparent from FIG. 2. The metal cores 8 have essentially a rectangular cross section in this exemplary embodiment, which is particularly advantageous with respect to the required torsional rigidity of the actuating pedal. In the area of the connection device 4, the metal cores are provided with a recess each, through which a pin element 13 of the connection device is passed through. This design of the metal cores 8 with
