A ride-on zero-turn work machine has two drive control levers longitudinally pivotable for locomotive and steering control, and laterally tiltable inboard and outboard for parking brake control. Two brake control linkages are each connected between one of the levers and one of the parking brakes. Each linkage features a rotatable bell crank, a brake connection link running from the bell crank to the parking brake, and a lever connection link having one end coupled to the bell crank, and another coupled to drive control lever. The bell crank is a flat plate to which the links are coupled at a same common side, and whose outer perimeter includes a cam profile that is engaged by a cam follower to resist movement of the control lever between inboard and outboard positions. The perimeter edge of each bell crank also engages a position detection switch in one of the inboard and positions.

A brake measuring gauge and method are disclosed. The measuring gauge comprises two measuring rods and a horizontal rule. Each of the two measuring rod has at least a connecting rod formed at an end of the measuring rod to engage with a nut. The horizontal ruler has a central hole formed at a central portion of a surface thereof, and two through holes are formed at relative positions on two ends of the horizontal ruler, and two scales are separately formed at a lateral side of the horizontal ruler. By using the measuring gauge to measure and calculate the dimensions of components of the brake rotor, the user can obtain precise sizes of the adapter bases for different types of the calipers or the brake discs.

A cable disk brake apparatus comprises a caliper housing structured to be attached to a bicycle, a first brake pad coupled to the caliper housing for movement between a release position and a braking position, and a second brake pad coupled to the caliper housing and arranged facing the first brake pad. A drive shaft is coupled to the caliper housing, wherein the drive shaft rotates around a drive shaft axis to move the first brake pad in an axial direction from the release position towards the braking position. An actuating member rotates to communicate rotational force to the drive shaft to cause the drive shaft to move the first brake pad from the release position towards the braking position, and a drive coupling member is coupled to the drive shaft to communicate rotational force from the actuating member to the drive shaft. An adjusting member adjusts a position of the drive coupling member relative to the actuating member.

A bicycle including a frame, a fork rotationally coupled to the frame within a head tube of the frame, and a wheel rotationally coupled to the fork. The fork has a steerer tube, and the bicycle further includes a stem that is coupled to the steerer tube, and a handlebar coupled to the stem for steering the wheel. The handlebar supports an actuator adapted to control a bicycle component. The bicycle also includes a cable housing that is disposed in the handlebar, and a cable that is coupled to the actuator and routed internally within the handlebar and the stem toward the head tube. The portion of the cable within the handlebar is routed through the cable housing, and the portion of the cable within the stem is exposed.

A rollator braking system for a rollator includes two handles, two brake lever assemblies, and two wires. The rollator includes a frame and a plurality of wheels attached to the frame for moving the rollator. The two handles are adjustably connected to the frame, and each handle including a gripping member. Each of the two brake lever assemblies include a bracket fixedly connected to the handle and a lever rotatably connected to the bracket to rotate towards and away from the gripping member when in an unlocked position, and fixedly connected to the bracket when in a locked position. Each of the two wires are operably connected between a lever assembly and a brake on one of the wheels such that when the lever is rotated towards the gripping member, the brake slows rotation of the wheel, and when the lever is in the locked position the brake stops the rotation of the wheel.

A brake piston includes a piston pocket. The piston pocket receives a nut that is axially movable along a center axis. The nut is restricted from rotating within the piston pocket when a torque due to a frictional engagement between a nut seal and an inner pocket wall, one or more projections, or both is greater than an input torque at the nut. The nut is rotatable within the piston pocket when a torque due to the frictional engagement between the nut seal and the inner pocket wall, the one or more projections or both is less than the input torque at the nut and is less than the torque due to the frictional engagement between the piston and the piston seal.

A brake and freewheel arrangement for a manually maneuverable park and garden equipment, which equipment includes a maneuvering handle assembly, a base frame, and a pair of wheels, each wheel mounted to an axle, where the brake and freewheel arrangement includes at least one brake pivot axle arranged pivotable in one or more housings. The housings being releasable fastened to the base frame. The brake and freewheel arrangement further including a lever being in one end connected to a maneuvering cable, the lever at an opposite end being connected to a spring element. The brake and freewheel arrangement includes a first locking pawl and a second locking pawl, wherein the first and second locking pawl being connected to the brake pivot axle as a unit.

A bicycle trailer brake includes an actuator forming a lever to actuate a brake. The actuator includes a mounting structure to couple the actuator to a bicycle or bicycle trailer and an input interface to receive an input force from a user. Upon attachment of the mounting structure to a bicycle or bicycle trailer, the input interface is positioned in a position behind and above a bicycle seat of a bicycle.

A driving unit for an electronic parking brake which drives a brake cable of the electronic parking brake includes: a motor; a final gear; a gear box assembly which transmits power output from the motor to the final gear; a first power transmitting member which is connected to the final gear so as to rotate together with the final gear and to be movable in an axial direction relative to the final gear; and a second power transmitting member which is connected to the first power transmitting unit so as to move in the axial direction in response to a rotation of the first power transmitting member.
