A brake master cylinder assembly with adjustable fluid reservoir. The invention prevents air from entering a motorcycle hydraulic brake line by adjusting the fluid reservoir to be level with the ground of motorcycle operation. The brake handle remains parallel with the relative position of the handlebar the assembly is fastened to. All motorcycle brake master cylinders have a fluid reservoir and hydraulic piston that are in a fixed position relative to the handle and handlebar. The invention has a reservoir assembly which may be adjusted to any angle to keep the fluid reservoir level while the motorcycle is upright; allowing the motorcycle to have a brake handle and corresponding handlebar at any angle desired. The adjustable hydraulic fluid reservoir assembly prevents air from entering the brake line by reducing exaggerated angles incorporated with handlebar positions. The overall brake performance is therefore extended, mitigating risks' and extending service life.

An operator interface for a wheel brake control system in a vehicle includes a handle configured for coupling to a fixed reference frame in the vehicle. The handle is configured for movement relative to the fixed reference frame about a pivot axis between a neutral position and one or more input positions. One or more inertial sensors are disposed within the handle. Each sensor is configured to generate an inertial measurement signal indicative of a value of a corresponding inertial measurement associated with movement of the handle and the sensor between the neutral position and the input positions. A controller disposed within the handle is configured to generate an operator command signal responsive to the inertial measurement signals. The operator command signal is configured to cause application or release of a brake in the vehicle.

A lever assembly for a wheelchair having a wheel lock system with two wheel lock assemblies. Each wheel lock assembly including a wheel lock and an actuator with an actuation cable that controllably moves a lock-pin between a locking and an unlocking position relative to the wheelchair wheels. The lever assembly has a body and a lever, with the body attached to the wheelchair and both actuation cables, and the lever attached to and controlling both actuation cables to manipulate the lock-pins to engage or disengage the wheelchair wheels. The lever is adapted for use by disabled occupants.

A brake assembly includes a reservoir body adapted to store a brake fluid and defining a cylinder bore, and a piston adapted to reciprocate inside the cylinder bore. The brake assembly also includes a base bracket pivotably coupled to a reservoir body and adapted to be mounted to a handlebar, and a handle pivotally coupled to the base bracket and adapted to pivot relative to the base bracket. A drive link is pivotable coupled to the reservoir body and is configured to pivot relative to the reservoir body to advance the piston inside the cylinder bore in response to the pressing of the handle. The handle is configured to be set at a plurality of angular positions with respect to the reservoir body by pivoting the base bracket relative to the reservoir body.

A riding lawn care vehicle (10) includes first and second drive wheels (32), a steering lever (34), a brake assembly (110), and a mechanical brake linkage assembly (120) including a cable tensioner (250). The brake assembly (110) may be operably coupled to at least one of the first and second drive wheels (32) to enable brakes to be selectively applied to the first and second drive wheels (32) based on a position of the steering lever (34). The cable tensioner (250) may be configured to activate the brake assembly (110) relative to the at least one of the first and second drive wheels (32) in response to the steering lever (34) being moved outwardly to an outboard position. The mechanical linkage assembly (120) may be configured to provide a greater amount of rotation of the cable tensioner (250) than a magnitude of rotation of the steering lever (34) when the steering lever (34) is moved from the inboard position to the outboard position.

The present invention relates to a double hinge type parking brake device which is constituted by a plurality of connection members having each gear formed on an outer peripheral surface while excluding a connection cable connecting a parking brake lever and a parking cable operating shaft for operating a parking cable to maintain an initial installation state instead of stretching the connection cable when the connection cable is used for a long time, thereby facilitating post management.

An adjustable hand brake lever assembly for a proportional electric braking system for a bicycle or other vehicle. The brake lever assembly may include a sensor assembly which is adapted for use with a standard brake lever assembly as used with mechanical cable braking systems. The sensor assembly may be replaced as a unit. The sensor assembly is adapted to allow for setting the reach adjustment, allowing a user to set a preferred initial position. The adjustable brake lever assembly may be coupled to a control electronic module and a regenerative braking system on a bicycle.

A passenger side driving instructor brake controller can include a telescoping shaft including a first end and a second end, and a brake lever connector disposed at the first end of a telescoping shaft and adapted to be secured to a brake lever of a motor vehicle disposed within a driver-side front floorboard area of the motor vehicle. A tubular main body bent near its mid-section, the tubular main body configured to adjustably accept the second end of the telescoping shaft therein and secure the telescoping shaft with locking hardware at a fixed position within the tubular main body to enable the main body to traverse over a main console of the motor vehicle where the tubular main body is bent at its mid-section and also to extend into a passenger compartment area of the motor vehicle wherein the tubular main body can terminate at a handle area.

A piston assembly is provided for a human-powered vehicle. The piston assembly includes a main body and a primary seal. The main body is configured to be movable from a rest position to an actuated position along an actuation direction in a cylinder bore. The primary seal includes a primary seal body arranged on the main body. The primary seal body is made of a resin material. The main body includes a first part and a second part. The first part is at least partly arranged upstream of the primary seal with respect to the actuation direction. The second part is coupled to the first part to be at least partly arranged downstream of the primary seal with respect to the actuation direction. The at least one of the first part and the second part includes a support portion supporting the primary seal.

An example brake assembly comprises: a brake disk; an outer brake caliper disposed on a first side of the brake disk; an inner brake caliper disposed on a second side of the brake disk such that the brake disk is interposed between the outer brake caliper and the inner brake caliper; a mounting plate disposed adjacent to the inner brake caliper, wherein the mounting plate is coupled to the inner brake caliper and the outer brake caliper, and wherein the mounting plate comprises a slot; and a brake actuation lever pivotably coupled to the mounting plate and disposed through the slot of the mounting plate to interface with the inner brake caliper, wherein rotation of the brake actuation lever causes the inner brake caliper to move toward the outer brake caliper, thereby squeezing the brake disk between the inner brake caliper and the outer brake caliper.
