  • Patent number: 9764722
    Abstract: A brake system for controlling a brake of a unit hauled by a vehicle, the brake system including a first pedal for braking a right rear wheel of the vehicle through a first braking circuit, a second pedal for braking a left rear wheel of the vehicle through a second braking circuit, an input line arrangement including a first input line for receiving a fluid from the first braking circuit and a second input line for receiving a fluid from the second braking circuit, at least one output line for sending a fluid to the brake of the hauled unit, and a selective connector for selectively connecting the input line arrangement to the output line by setting a first connection configuration when the vehicle has a speed greater than a threshold value and a second connection configuration when the vehicle has a speed lower than the threshold value, whereby in the first connection configuration pushing any of the pedals activates the brake of the hauled unit, and in the second connection configuration pushing only one o

  • Patent number: 7931343
    Abstract: A parking brake having an electromechanical and hydraulic device for gripping a pack of movable sectors connected mechanically to the wheels to exert the desired braking force on the wheels. The parking brake is characterized by having an oil flow regulating valve assembly, in turn having a first control solenoid valve and a second safety solenoid valve in series with each other.
