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.

In a method for providing the clamping force generated by a parking brake, the roadway incline is measured and in the case that the roadway incline exceeds a threshold value, a reengagement process is carried out after a defined time period has elapsed.

A method for detecting a movement of a vehicle that has been shut down in a parked state, including: detecting a movement variable which describes a movement of the vehicle, integrating the movement variable, in a manner dependent on a movement direction of the vehicle, to obtain a movement travel, and, if the movement travel meets a predetermined condition, making a decision on the movement for detection.

A wireless tension adjusting system of a hand parking brake includes: a nut runner fastened to an that adjusts nut adjusting tension which is present in a parking brake cable, the nut runner being configured to apply rotational force to the adjusting nut; an external force measuring jig configured to measure external force of a parking brake lever caused by the rotational force applied to the adjusting nut from the nut runner; and a controlling unit configured to transmit an operation stop signal to the nut runner based on the external force which is measured by the external force measuring jig.

A park release apparatus for shifting a transmission of a vehicle having an engine from park to neutral with the engine not running via a park release lever of the transmission, the apparatus including a transmission assembly configured for being selectively installed on the transmission spaced from the park release lever, a handle assembly, a cable assembly having a slidable cable operably connecting the transmission assembly and the handle assembly, and a release bracket coupled to the cable in the vicinity of the transmission assembly and configured for selectively engaging the park release lever.

A braking system for a rollator with a frame includes an adjustable handle to be installed on a right subframe or a left subframe of the frame of the rollator, a bracket fixedly connected to the handle, a lever rotatably connected to the bracket, a lock movably connected to the bracket and configured to fix the lever in a locked position when the lock is moved relative to the bracket once the lever is rotated toward the frame, and a wire operably connected between the lever and a brake on the frame of the rollator, such that the wire applies the brake when the lever is rotated toward the bracket and when the lever is fixed in the locked position.

An electric braking device includes: an electric motor for pressing a friction member against a rotary member that rotates integrally with a vehicle wheel; a lock mechanism for locking rotation of the electric motor and applying a parking brake in accordance with operation on a parking switch; and a control for driving the electric motor and the lock mechanism. The control increases the electricity amount sent to the electric motor when a pressing force is less than a preset lower value at the time the parking switch is switched from off to on, starts actuating the lock mechanism when the pressing force equals or exceeds the lower value, and, when the pressing force is greater than a preset upper value greater than or equal to the lower value, starts actuating the lock mechanism when the pressing force equals or exceeds the upper value.

A zero turning radius mower park brake system includes an over-center pivot member that pivots to a park brake engaged position in response to moving a control arm fully outward, and to a park brake disengaged position in response to moving the control arm fully inward. The control arm is disconnected from the over-center pivot member in the park brake engaged and disengaged positions. An actuator on a lower end of the control arm may contact the over-center pivot member between the park brake engaged and disengaged positions. A biasing spring urges the over-center pivot member to the park brake engaged position and park brake disengaged position.

A method for detecting a movement of a vehicle that has been shut down in a parked state, including: detecting a movement variable which describes a movement of the vehicle, integrating the movement variable, in a manner dependent on a movement direction of the vehicle, to obtain a movement travel, and, if the movement travel meets a predetermined condition, making a decision on the movement for detection.

A vehicle braking system includes a piston rod extendable from an air brake chamber, a rotatable cam shaft, and a slack adjuster coupled to the piston rod and the cam shaft. The slack adjuster is configured to rotate the cam shaft as the piston rod extends. The slack adjuster has a control gear coupled to the cam shaft such that the control gear rotates as the cam shaft is rotated. A pinion gear meshes with the control gear such that the pinion gear rotates as the control gear rotates, and a take-off gear meshes with the pinion gear such that the take-off gear rotates as the control gear rotates. A magnet coupled to the take-off gear is configured to rotate as the take-off gear rotates. A sensor is configured to sense rotation of the magnet, and an indicator is configured to indicate brake stroke of the piston rod.
