  • Patent number: 8250946
    Abstract: A vehicle, comprising a brake operating lever, mounted to pivot on a lever bracket, a coupling unit, which couples a brake cable to the brake operating lever, a locking device with teeth and a locking bolt, tensioned against the teeth by means of a first spring element and a release unit, with at least one first lever, said locking bolt and the first lever having an articulation. A parking brake which permits a secure braking and release and also avoids making noise on operation and on releasing may be achieved, whereby the articulation for the locking bolt and the first lever is arranged on the lever bracket and the articulation is provided on the lever bracket in a displaceable manner.

  • Patent number: 7146873
    Abstract: A device for adjusting a cable pull of a vehicle parking brake includes an actuating lever rotatable about a first axis, a pull element and a locking element. The pull element includes a pull rod and a guide housing, wherein the pull rod includes notches and is spring-loaded in an actuating direction of the cable pull. The guide housing is pivotably mounted about a second axis disposed outside a line defined by the actuating direction. The locking element includes a latch part releasably engaging the notches of the pull rod, wherein the locking element is mounted pivotably with respect to the guide housing, wherein a force acting in the actuating direction of the cable pull creates a torque on the pull element about the second axis that is proportional to the force.

  • Patent number: 7073635
    Abstract: A device for actuating a cable includes a lever pivotable about an axis, a connecting device for connecting the cable in an extension-resistant manner to the lever at a distance from the axis, the distance being decreased by pivoting the lever. The connecting device includes a traction rod having a variable length. A slideway is arranged on the lever transversely to the traction rod and has a profile in the form of a curve. The device also includes a sliding component for coupling the traction rod and the slideway, a device for reducing an effective length of the connecting device, a guide device arranged at the lever, and a shaped part for guiding the traction rod and coupled to the guide device.

  • Publication number: 20050115355
    Abstract: A pedal for a vehicle includes a pedal body having a first pedal arm and a second pedal arm. An adjustment unit including a toothing is arranged at the pedal body. An elongated hole, oriented parallel to the toothing, is disposed at one of the first pedal arm and the second pedal arm and a roller disposed at the other of the first pedal arm and the second pedal arm, and arranged in the elongated hole. The first pedal arm is adjustable relative to the second pedal arm by intermeshing of the toothing.

  • Patent number: 6880665
    Abstract: A pedal support for a motor vehicle includes a first partial spindle, a second partial spindle, a clamp, a bracket connected to a crash-deformable bodywork part of the motor vehicle, and a stay in engagement with another part of the pedal support and connected to a crash-stable bodywork part of the motor vehicle. The bracket includes side walls, each having an outside. The first partial spindle and the second partial spindle are each mounted in one of said the walls and spaced apart in an axial direction. A spring force acts on the partial spindles in the axial direction. The clamp includes two parallel limbs, each limb being connected to one of the partial spindles and bearing against the outside of one of the side walls, such that a relative movement of the crash-deformable bodywork part to the crash-stable bodywork part urges the partial spindles away from each other so as to release a pedal supported by the partial spindles.
