Abstract: An operating mechanism for a parking brake. The operating mechanism includes a manual brake lever pivotably coupled to a bearing block by a tubular holder. The manual brake lever is fixed to the tubular holder. The mechanism also includes a locking device adapted to fix the manual brake lever in a predetermined pivoting position, an activation rod guided inside the manual brake lever and operatively connected to the locking device, and a transfer element connected to the tubular holder. The transfer element is adapted to transmit movement of the manual lever to the parking brake.

Abstract: An operating mechanism for a parking brake includes a manual brake lever pivotably coupled to a bearing block, a locking device adapted to secure the manual brake lever in a predetermined pivoting position, an actuating rod guided inside the manual brake lever and operatively connected to the locking device, and a guiding device for the actuating rod located on the manual brake lever. The guiding device comprises a U-shaped profile having an opening oriented toward a side of the manual brake lever. The opening is adapted to receive the actuating rod.

Abstract: An operating mechanism for a parking brake includes a manual brake lever pivotably coupled to a bearing block and a locking device adapted to lock the manual brake lever into a position. The locking device includes a detent arranged on the manual brake lever and adapted to pivot around a pivoting axis, the detent having a bore, a locking segment connected to the bearing block, a spring element adapted to hold the detent into a locking position on the locking segment, and a connecting element adapted to secure the detent on the manual brake lever. The connecting element and the spring element jointly form a single structural unit adapted for insertion into the bore in the detent during installation of the detent on the manual brake lever.

Abstract: A method for assembling a component including individual parts, includes making a plurality of the individual parts available in a plurality of respective containers. A control and display unit is assigned to each respective container. Each control and display unit includes a display element and a sensor associated with each container. The display element is activated on a respective container to indicate the individual part required for a next assembly step. The individual part is removed from the container indicated by the display element. The removal of the individual part is monitored by the sensor of the control and display unit. The component is assembled inside an assembly device during individual assembly steps. The assembly device is monitored with a sensor arrangement to determine whether each individual part required for assembling the component is available.

Abstract: An operating mechanism for a parking brake includes a manual brake lever pivotably coupled to a bearing block; a locking device adapted to secure the manual brake lever in a predetermined pivoting position; an activation rod guided inside the manual brake lever, the activation rod operatively connected to the locking device; and a position-adjustable end stop movable between an engaged position and a released position. The position-adjustable end stop is adapted to delimit pivotable movement of the manual brake lever to a maximum value setting when in the engaged position, and the position-adjustable end stop is adapted to permit movement of the manual brake lever past the maximum value setting when in the disengaged position.

Abstract: An actuating mechanism for a parking brake includes a bearing block and a handbrake lever positioned pivoting on the bearing block. A brake setting device includes a locking segment secured to the bearing block and a movably positioned locking pawl which has an edge segment facing the locking segment. An actuating linkage is positioned inside the handbrake lever and includes a web to connect the actuating linkage to the locking pawl. The web rests on the edge segment. A spring loaded push button is movable counter to a spring force to activate the actuating linkage. A catch spring is arranged to secure the locking pawl by a force of the catch spring in an engaged position on the locking segment. During actuation of the actuating linkage by the push button, a force counter to the force of the catch spring is exerted by the web onto the locking pawl, thereby causing the locking pawl to be separated from the locking segment.
