A pressure supply unit for a brake system including a booster body that defines an axially extending cylinder. A piston is slideable within the cylinder. The piston defines a bore that receives a spindle. The spindle is rotationally fixed and axially moveable for providing the axial movement of the piston. A motor is positioned about the spindle and is configured to axially translate the spindle and piston. A ball and socket joint connects the piston and spindle while accommodating pivoting movement of the spindle. The ball and socket joint includes a ball at a front end of the spindle and a socket in the bore of the piston which receives the ball.

A pivot cradle bearing system includes a curved cage segment in which rolling elements are guided, which are arranged between two bearing parts which can be pivoted relative to each other. A synchronization device, which is designed for the synchronization of the relative movement of the bearing parts with the displacement of the cage segment, comprises a pivot arm, which is mounted in the cage segment. A ball-and-socket joint, by means of which a snap-action connection is formed, is provided to support the pivot arm in the cage segment.

A segmental bearing device includes a plurality of rolling elements, a segmental cage for receiving the plurality of rolling elements, and a partial shell. The segmental cage has a first end region and a first interference region disposed in the first end region. The partial shell has a bearing race for the plurality of rolling elements, and first and second axial guide flanges for axially guiding the segmental cage. The first interference region lies against the first axial guide flange, axially clamping the segmental cage. The segmental cage may also include a second end region, axially opposite the first end region, and a second interference region disposed in the second end region. The second interference region lies against the second axial guide flange, axially clamping the segmental cage.

A segment bearing device for supporting a first bearing partner relative to a second bearing partner about a pivot axis (S) includes a plurality of rolling elements, a segment cage for receiving the rolling elements, and a partial shell, the partial shell providing a race for the rolling elements. At least one of the plurality of rolling elements is arranged as a mounting rolling element in a first partial circle (TK1) in an operating state of the segment bearing device, and is held in a second partial circle (TK2) in a mounted state of the segment bearing device. The common center point of the partial circles (TK1, TK2) is defined by a center of curvature of the segment cage, and the first partial circle (TK1) has a smaller diameter than the second partial circle (TK2).

A force input member for a brake actuating device of a vehicle brake system includes at least one first portion connected to the brake actuating device; at least one second portion connected to a brake pedal; and at least one coupling device. The at least one coupling device couples the first portion and the second portion to one another wherein the at least one coupling device is designed to permit a relative movement between the first portion and the second portion in the case of a force acting on the force input element which is greater than or equal to a predetermined release force.

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.

A sheath for a cable for a bicycle includes a tubular lining, a reinforcing tube and a tubular colored layer. The reinforcing tube is provided on the tubular lining. The reinforcing tube includes a tubular plastic layer and a tubular web embedded in the tubular plastic layer. The tubular web includes two groups of helical fibers. The fibers in one group intersect the fibers in the other group. The tubular colored layer is provided on the tubular plastic layer.

A parking brake device includes a toggle mechanism including a base member, a connecting member, a brake lever, a junction member that connects an intermediate position of the brake lever with the connecting member. The junction member includes two junction parts that are connected to each other and are rotatable relative to each other.
