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.
Parking brake actuation assembly
A brake actuation assembly comprising a thrust and support element comprising a first thrust end adapted to cooperate with a first jaw of a brake; the thrust and support element comprising a second thrust and support element end; a lever rotatably supported to the thrust and support element for rotating at least along a rotation thrust direction; the lever comprising a first lever end adapted to cooperate with a second jaw of the brake; the lever comprising a second lever end, wherein the second lever end comprises a hooking seat; and wherein the hooking seat is adapted to firmly receive a connecting portion of a coupling end of a traction cable, the traction cable having a cable body capable of an elastic flexural deformation; the hooking seat being arranged undercut with respect to the rectilinear development direction of the cable body; the lever being adapted to oscillate; wherein the lever comprises a lever abutment surface which cooperates with a stop abutment counter-surface provided in the thrust and support element to prevent a free rotation of the lever in the opposite direction to the rotation thrust direction; the thrust and support element and the second lever end delimiting a guide channel which allows the passage of at least the coupling end; the guide channel allowing the coupling end to rotate about the second lever end and to be coupled to the hooking seat upon the elastic return of the cable body to a substantially straight cable body position, preventing the rotation of the lever in the opposite direction to the rotation thrust direction.
ELECTRICAL WHEEL BRAKE ACTUATOR WITH IMPROVED END POSITION RECOGNITION
An electrical wheel brake actuator for motor vehicles, designed to move a brake pad in the direction of a brake rotor and having an electric motor-gear assembly with a rotation-translation converter assembly that includes a nut-spindle arrangement, and an elastic element which is associated with a release end stop of the spindle arrangement in order, together with a control unit, to allow the electric motor to be automatically electrically switched off. The elastic element includes at least two disc springs which are able to form an expanded segmented force-travel spring curve formed from multiple force-travel spring curve portions.
Hidden braking device
A hidden braking device includes a brake handle, a brake member controlling a wheel set, and a connecting member disposed in a main frame having telescoping upper and lower frames. The connecting member has an upper stem connected to the brake handle and having fixing notches, a lower stem connected to the brake member, a locking set disposed on the lower frame and mainly including a locking unit, and an adjusting set connected to both stems. The adjusting set mainly has an operating unit on which a first spring unit is disposed, an engaging case and a positioning case disposed relative to each other, and an elastic unit located between both cases and engaged with the fixing notches. The first spring unit pushes the operating unit while loosening the locking unit to thereby position the engaging case and adjust a full length of the main frame quickly.
Actuator for seat adjustment devices
An actuating drive, in particular for seat adjustment devices, comprising at least one electric motor, a downstream reduction gear, a coupling device which has a coupling engagement spring that ensures an engaged position of the coupling device during motorized operation and permits a manual disengagement against its coupling force. The coupling device has a coupling lever pivotably mounted in a pivot bearing of a bearing block. The coupling lever is connected at one end of the pivot bearing to a mechanical actuating unit and by which at the other end of the pivot bearing a coupling means can be adjusted to disengage the coupling device. The actuating drive ensures both reliable electrical and reliable manual operation, a high degree of efficiency during electrical operation and simple assembly for a generic actuating drive.
