  • Parking brake for a motor vehicle and motor vehicle comprising the parking brake
    Patent number: 11879545
    Abstract: A parking brake includes an inhibitor device (31), which can be associated with a drive shaft (3) for rotating therewith, the inhibitor device (31) being actuated by centrifugal force. The parking brake further includes a locking member (33) adapted to engage the inhibitor device (31) when actuated. The inhibitor device (31) is configured to prevent the engagement of the locking member with the inhibitor device when the inhibitor device rotates at a speed greater than a minimum speed, so as to prevent the application of the parking brake.

  • Ventilation/lubrication system of the crank chamber of an internal combustion engine, in particular for vehicles with a rideable saddle
    Patent number: 11859522
    Abstract: A lubrication system for internal combustion engines, in particular for vehicles with a rideable saddle, said system comprising a crank chamber in which at least one connecting rod is accommodated, and a basin or pan for collecting a lubricating liquid, wherein said crank chamber and said collection basin or pan are put in mutual communication by means of a first opening obtained in said crank chamber, wherein the flow of said lubricating liquid through said first opening from said crank chamber into said basin is adjusted by means of a first adjusting element adapted to be switched to an open position so as to allow the discharge of said lubricating liquid from said crank chamber into said collection basin or pan at a predetermined switching gas pressure value inside said crank chamber.
