  • Publication number: 20220017178
    Abstract: A lever-operated actuation device for a brake or clutch may have a pump body housing a hydraulic pump provided with a float and a hub rotatably associated with the pump body around a lever pin defining a rotation axis, the hub being associated with a tip operatively connected to the float for its actuation. The pump body may have a pair of fixing ears provided with fixing holes for the lever pin, the lever pin rotatably supporting an associable lever assembly. The lever assembly may have a manual actuation lever and a lever guide suitable to actuate the tip via the hub. The actuation device may have a retention device that keep the hub joined to the pump body, following the removal of the lever pin and the lever assembly for its disassembly/replacement.

  • Patent number: 11097804
    Abstract: A lever device for hydraulically actuating the brake or clutch of a vehicle equipped with a handlebar may have a pump assembly with a pump body connected to the handlebar of a vehicle. The pump body may have a cavity, a piston operatively associated with the pump body so as to be adapted to slide inside the cavity along a direction of thrust (X-X). The lever device may have a control lever assembly rotatably associated with the pump body so as to rotate about a pivot axis (Y-Y), the control lever assembly may have at least one control level. The piston defines a stroke free play between an end position and a first operating position. The lever device may have a stroke free play adjustment device which is adapted to adjust the distance along the direction of thrust (X-X) between the end position and the first operating position.

  • Patent number: 8336308
    Abstract: A lever device for operating a hydraulic actuator for a motorcycle, comprises a support that can be connected to a bearing structure, a hydraulic actuator connected to the support, a main lever, pivotally connected to the support and intended to be operated by being moved close to or away from said hydraulic actuator, a control rod and an adjustment member that are interposed in series between the main lever and a piston of the hydraulic actuator such as to transmit an operating movement from the lever to said piston. The adjustment member pivots about an axis of adjustment and defines a seat that accommodates an end of the control rod. The seat is eccentric to the axis of adjustment, whereby rotation of the adjustment member changes the orientation of the control rod relative to the axis of rotation of the lever, and thus the lever ratio.
