Patent number: 10065615Abstract: A simulation device for an electrically controlled braking apparatus of a vehicle with an electric motor having a motorized axis slant in relation to the translation axis of the strut of the pedal group, a contrast body connected to the strut, a main abutment wall and an elastic contrast element, disposed between the main abutment wall and the contrast body. The method of applying the contrast action to the pedal provides for activating, when the flattening action of the pedal by the user is terminated, the motor to achieve an inactive configuration in which the useful distance of maximum compression of the elastic contrast element is minimal.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2014Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: Freni Brembo S.p.A.Inventors: Paolo Sala, Riccardo Arrigoni, Beniamin Szewczyk

Publication number: 20160236663Abstract: A simulation device for an electrically controlled braking apparatus of a vehicle with an electric motor having a motorised axis slant in relation to the translation axis of the strut of the pedal group, a contrast body connected to the strut, a main abutment wall and an elastic contrast element, disposed between the main abutment wall and the contrast body. The method of applying the contrast action to the pedal provides for activating, when the flattening action of the pedal by the user is terminated, the motor to achieve an inactive configuration in which the useful distance of maximum compression of the elastic contrast element is minimal.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2014Publication date: August 18, 2016Inventors: Paolo SALA, Riccardo ARRIGONI, Beniamin SZEWCZYK

Patent number: 7043911Abstract: A master cylinder suitable for a vehicle braking system has an unusual capability to supply quantities of fluid and fluid pressures at its output in differentiated manner in dependence on the braking stage, preventing long transitory stages between an approach stage and an actual braking stage. The cylinder comprises a cylinder body having a first chamber and a second chamber provided inside. The first chamber is in operative communication with at least one braking member and houses a first piston. The second chamber, which has larger transverse dimensions than the first chamber, is in operative communication with the first chamber and houses a second piston. Ducts are provided and put the first chamber and the second chamber into communication during the approach stage. The ducts house a low-pressure valve which is open during the approach stage and closed during the actual braking stage.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2003Date of Patent: May 16, 2006Assignee: Freni Brembo S.p.A.Inventors: Riccardo Arrigoni, Roberto Malagoli
