11472393 · 2022-10-18 · ·

The present disclosure pertains to a coupling device for coupling a fluid reservoir for a brake fluid with a brake actuation device. The coupling device includes at least one coupling extension provided at the fluid reservoir with a first recess, a second recess configured in the area of an edge of the brake actuation device as well as a hole configured in the brake actuation device and open to the second recess, a bridge element crossing the second recess along the edge of the brake actuation device and a coupling element with at least one striker, wherein, when the fluid reservoir is coupled to the brake actuation device, the hole is aligned with the first recess along a central longitudinal axis of the striker and the striker passes through the first recess and engages with the hole. The present disclosure also pertains to a vehicle brake system equipped with such a coupling device.

Master cylinder for a braking system
11603082 · 2023-03-14 · ·

A dual input master cylinder, comprising a housing having a first input, a piston base positioned within the housing, and a piston rod having a first end and a second end, the first end of the piston rod abutting the piston base and the second end of the piston rod acting as a second input of the dual input master cylinder, wherein the piston rod is capable of being spaced apart from the piston base.

CONNECTION FOR BRAKE SYSTEM HOUSING

A connection for delivering fluid to a brake system housing having a cavity includes a fluid reservoir having a port extending along a centerline and configured to be received in the cavity. A collar extends around the port. A grommet extends around the port and is received in the cavity for forming a fluid-tight seal between the port and the brake system housing. The grommet includes a flange extending radially to an outermost surface positioned radially inside the collar.

BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR VALVE FOR A MASTER CYLINDER

Brake fluid reservoir valve for installation in the reservoir's outlet tube. It includes an outer sleeve fixed in the reservoir tube and equipped with an outer stop and a hollow piston housed in the sleeve. The top of the piston is closed and bordered by a groove accommodating an o-ring seal that rests upon the upper edge of the sleeve whenever the piston enters the sleeve. The piston has windows beneath the groove communicating with the interior of the piston and lugs near its lower extremity. Openings are provided in the extension of the piston beneath the lugs. A compression spring is inserted between the piston and the outer sleeve, between the stop and the lugs.

Master cylinder

An improved master cylinder for use with a hydraulic clutch or hydraulic brake system. The master cylinder has a master cylinder body defining a bore. A piston is configured to slide in the bore when an actuation lever is compressed by a user. Sliding of the piston as a result of the depression of the lever causes the piston to depress a spring and to increase hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic line leading to the brake or clutch. A spring is configured to return the piston when pressure is released from the actuation lever. The master cylinder body in some embodiments is configured for lateral position adjustment relative to a mounting bracket. In some embodiments the master cylinder has a reservoir. The reservoir can be oriented at a tilted angle relative to the body of the master cylinder. In further embodiments the master cylinder has an outlet nut that is configured for attachment to the hydraulic line. The outlet nut is configured such that removal of the outlet nut allows for access to the bore, including the spring and piston.

Brake lever assembly for hydraulic brake system

A brake lever assembly includes a body, a seat and a pin. The body is connected to the seat and includes an outer surface which is engaged with an inner surface of the seat so that the body cannot rotate relative to the seat. The seat is connected to a brake lever and a handlebar. The body is connected to an adapter which is connected with a hydraulic oil pipe. A piston is located in the body and activated by the brake lever. The pin extends through the seat and the body to prevent the body from dropping from the receiving hole axially. The brake lever assembly is easily installed to the handlebar.
