Brake Systems for Inline Skates
One or more sets of dual brake pads and related assemblies are disposed over and upon one or more wheels of an inline skate. One or more center assemblies are above each brake enabled wheel and center over each wheel. A brake assembly may be secured to a skate boot or to the frame of an inline skate. A brake assembly may attach to a hand control braking system enabling foot free braking. A brake assembly may be attached to one or more center wheels of an inline skate so as to not impede skating maneuvers.
Cable-linked brake pedal assemblies
A cable-linked brake pedal assembly for an airplane. The assembly includes a first cable assembly with a first end attached to a pilot-side brake pedal and a second end attached to a first bell crank assembly, and a second cable assembly with a first end attached to a copilot-side brake pedal and a second end attached to a second bell crank assembly. A first connecting rod with a first rod end is attached to the first bell crank assembly and a second rod end is attached to the second bell crank assembly. The connection between the first and second cable assemblies, first and second bell crank assemblies, and first connecting rod is configured such that depressing the pilot-side brake pedal moves the first cable assembly, first connecting rod, and second cable assembly in such a way as to cause a corresponding depression of the copilot-side brake pedal.
Electrically actuated mechanical park brake system
A park brake system for adjusting a tension in a brake cable that is coupled to a park brake. The park brake system can include a driver that is communicatively coupled to a microcontroller, and an actuator that is rotatably displaceable by operation of the driver. An equalizer assembly can be linearly displaced along the rotating actuator to adjust a tension in the brake cable. The microcontroller can monitor a current being drawn by the driver as the driver is operated, and generate instructions to cease operation of the driver upon the current reaching a predetermined current threshold that corresponds a maximum force that is to be applied by the park brake. The microcontroller can also, when the park brake is being released from a set position, count pulses outputted by an encoder in connection with determining whether the park brake has reached a running clearance position.

Towbar activated brake system having differential rotation capability
A tow bar-activated brake system capable of engaging two tires or tire sets of a dolly or trailer where the tires or tire sets are of substantially different diameter. The system includes a first brake assembly and second brake assembly commonly actuated yet capable of rotating independently of each other to provide engagement with both tires/tire sets, even when the tires/tire sets are of substantially different diameter, for example due to uneven wear.
SYNCHRONOUS BRAKING DEVICE FOR FRONT AND REAR WHEELS OF BICYCLES
A synchronous braking device for front and rear wheels of bicycles is revealed. A left brake cable and a right brake cable which are operated by a left brake lever and a right brake lever respectively are connected to a synchronous driving integration mechanism. No matter users squeeze the left brake lever, the right brake lever, or both the left and the right brake levers at the same time, a front brake cable and a rear brake cable are driven synchronously. Thereby a brake installed on a front wheel and a brake set on a rear wheel are further driven to brake at the same time. Thereby the rider's safety during riding is ensured.
Hydraulic brake system and apparatus
A braking system includes a vehicle having a front brake and a rear brake. The system includes a moveable structure connected to a rear brake. The rear brake may be a hydraulic brake. When the rear brake is actuated, the moveable structure moves. The movement of the structure pressurizes hydraulic fluid in a tube which actuates a front hydraulic brake.
DISSYMMETRIC BRAKING SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE
A dissymmetric braking system has at least one right wheel braking device, at least one left wheel braking device, at least one device to apply a braking action, at least one actuating device to transform the braking action into a first pressure, at least one right wheel connection, at least one left wheel connection, and at least one pressure reducing device having at least one transfer device receiving the first pressure. The transfer device transforms the first pressure into a reduced second pressure, whereby avoiding, during the braking action, a fluidic connection between a fluid having the first pressure and a fluid having the second pressure to determine, during the braking action, a relationship between the first pressure and the second pressure with linear trend without variation of linearity throughout the operating field of the pressure reducing device, so that the braking action of one of the right wheel braking device and left wheel braking device is lower than the other.

Brake System for Work Vehicles
An emergency stop brake operation assembly necessary for a work vehicle when travelling autonomously in an unmanned state is provided in this brake system without introducing problems to manual driving of the work vehicle by an occupant. This brake system for work vehicles comprises: a brake pedal that is disposed in a driving section; a brake that brakes left and right rear wheels; a linkage mechanism that links the brake pedal and the brake in such a manner as to allow the brake pedal and the brake to operate in conjunction with each other; and an electric brake operating device that actuates the brake in response to an emergency stop command. The brake operating device has: an operation-receiving body that is coupled to the brake pedal; an electric actuator that operates the operation-receiving body; and a clearance-provided section which is located between the brake pedal and the electric actuator and allows displacement of the brake pedal and the linkage mechanism with respect to the electric actuator when the brake pedal is depressed.
