を感じていた。[Prior Art] Conventionally, in a cab-over type automobile having a hanging clutch or brake pedal, a master cylinder 1 is placed on a floor 2 as shown in FIG. For this reason, master cylinder 1
The reserve tank 3, which supplies oil to the tank, is constructed to be attached to the bottom of the fascia 4, and has the disadvantage that it is difficult to inspect and fill with oil. Particularly in vehicles such as buses that are driven daily, inspection of brake oil and clutch oil is necessary, and drivers find it extremely inconvenient.

There is a reserve tank device for brake fluid that can be used for brake fluid, but this device has the disadvantage that it increases the cost of the car because it cannot be installed unless the door lining is changed to a special one. Further, in the above device, the reserve tank is provided on the fascia side, but since the liquid injection port is fixed, it is difficult to pour liquid into the tank, and failure to pour the liquid into the tank can stain the interior of the vehicle. Furthermore, since the reserve tank is mounted within the fascia with a bracket or the like in the above device, there is a problem in that a switch or the like cannot be attached to the fascia on the surface of the reserve tank housing area.
