  • Patent number: 9744954
    Abstract: A brake actuation system of a hydraulic brake system, for actuating at least one front axle brake circuit having at least one front wheel brake, and for actuating at least one rear axle brake circuit having at least one rear wheel brake, the brake actuation system including at least one hand brake module which, when actuated, can activate both brake circuits. In order to provide an improved brake actuation system with a plurality of actuation capabilities, which system can also be utilized in light motorcycles and scooters without the restrictions of existing brake actuation systems, while simultaneously offering a simple concept and a reduced cost and weight, the hand brake module is hydraulically coupled into a combined hand brake module, the combined hand brake module being designed to simultaneously generate brake pressure in both brake circuits.

  • Patent number: 8177039
    Abstract: A hydraulic vehicle brake system, which has a brake pressure signal generator which can be activated by a brake activation device, wherein the brake pressure signal generator can be connected to wheel brakes of the vehicle via at least one hydraulic line and is composed essentially of a master brake cylinder and a hydraulic booster which is connected upstream and which has a return flow chamber and a boosting chamber, a working piston arranged therein and a control piston, wherein the working piston is operatively connected in the force outputting direction to a master brake cylinder piston via an activation element, and a hydraulic pressure of a hydraulic pressure source can be applied to the booster via an inlet for the purpose of boosting braking force, wherein an outlet of the booster can be connected to a reservoir vessel.

  • Publication number: 20100272300
    Abstract: A device for holding vehicle sensors in a vehicle, wherein the device includes a housing, at least one holder for mobile terminals, wherein the first holder for mobile terminals is designed such that the mobile terminals are affixed to the housing via the holder by a releasable connection, and the holder, which includes a ball, is connected to the housing by a ball socket. An inside mirror of the vehicle is affixed to a holder arm which is rotatably connected to the housing, and the housing has an installation space for holding sensors, provisions for communication, provisions for position determination, and actuation provisions for making calls.
