  • Patent number: 4673224
    Abstract: The invention is related to a brake pressure control unit which is pilotable load-sensitively through a pilot device, a spring device, and a transmission lever. The pilot device includes a first pilot element being fastened to an unsprung member of the vehicle which is movable load-sensitively relating to the housing which is mounted to a spring member of the vehicle. The pilot device also includes a spring positioned between both the two pilot elements. Mounting of the unit to a lifted vehicle is provided by locking the transmission lever is a predetermined position by locking the pilot element together. A gauge loads the second pilot element to the transmission lever in the predetermined position. The two pilot elements are rigidly coupled to each other by a coupling member during installation to form a constructional unit of a predetermined length.

  • Patent number: 4648489
    Abstract: A braking pressure control unit is actuatable in a load-responsive manner by way of an actuating device (10), a spring device (6), and a transmission lever (3) supported at the housing (1) of the braking pressure control unit. The actuating device (10) comprises a first actuating element (11) fastened at a part of the vehicle which is movable in a load-responsive manner relative to the housing (1), of a second actuating element (9), and of a spring (18) arranged between the two elements. Assembly at the vehicle is effected with the spring device (6) being blocked. By the use of the spring (18) supporting itself at the vehicle by way of the first actuating element (11), the transmission lever (3), by way of the second actuating element (9), is pressed into the position which it adopts when the control valves of the braking pressure control unit are in a defined open position.
