  • Patent number: 9302656
    Abstract: It is proposed, for an electronic system for operating an electromechanical parking brake device of a vehicle with an input unit for detecting a driver command which is evaluated by a control unit which activates at least one actuating unit for actuating at least one brake, that the control unit consist of at least two control components, of which a first control component is associated with the input unit and at least one second control component is associated with the at least one actuating unit.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8915080
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pressure generator for a hydraulic vehicle brake system for the regulated generation of a hydraulic brake pressure in a brake circuit, the pressure generator having a multiple-piston pump for delivering a brake fluid with at least two pump pistons and associated pressure chambers, on which the pump pistons act, an actuator for actuating the multiple-piston pump, and a fluid feed line which extends to the pressure chambers and is configured for connection to a storage container, in which a hydraulic fluid is stored. At least one valve is arranged in the fluid feed line and divides the latter into a first section which is arranged upstream of the valve and into a second section which is arranged downstream of the valve, the valve being configured to optionally at least partly shut off or open the second section of the fluid feed line and therefore to control the fluid supply of at least one pressure chamber.

  • Patent number: 6813991
    Abstract: A load-transmitting arrangement (14) with articulated function for taking up and transmitting a pedal force, in particular a brake pedal force, is described. A braking device (10) of a brake system comprising the load-transmitting arrangement (14) is further described. The load-transmitting arrangement (14) has a first load-transmitting member (20), which has a receiving sleeve (20A) for a second load-transmitting member (22), an end of the second load-transmitting member (22) that projects into the receiving sleeve (20A) engaging behind a snap element (30B), which locks the second load-transmitting member (22) against withdrawal from the receiving sleeve (20A). The end of the second load-transmitting member (22) that engages behind the snap device (30) is a joint head, which is supported pivotally inside the receiving sleeve (20A). The second load-transmitting member (22) is coupled movably to a support device (32), against which the snap element (30B) is non-pivotally supported.

  • Patent number: 6349801
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electromechanically actuatable disk brake with a housing, a friction pad against which an electrically actuatable actuator acts, with the actuator comprising an electric motor and a spindle/nut transmission arrangement, characterised in that the electric motor is configured as an internal rotor motor with a stator and a rotor, the rotor of which is coupled non-rotably with the spindle, the spindle is operatively coupled with the nut in order to transform a rotational movement of the spindle into a translatory movement of the nut, the spindle is supported along its longitudinal extent in at least two places so as to be rotatable relative to the housing, and the nut is guided axially slidable relative to the housing.
