  • Patent number: 10946693
    Abstract: A fastening arrangement for a rim of a wheel on a wheel hub of a wheel carrier of a motor vehicle. The fastening arrangement includes a central screw which, on a fastening portion, has an external thread which engages in an internal thread of a step of the wheel hub. A tensioner produces a force-fitting connection between the wheel hub step and the central screw. A locking arrangement prevents unintentional release of the central screw. The locking arrangement has a carrier member and a blocking member, wherein the blocking member is pretensioned in relation to the carrier member by a locking spring member and is displaceable in the axial direction. The blocking member is arranged captively in the carrier member by a securing mechanism.

  • Patent number: 5690193
    Abstract: An arrangement for operating a parking brake for a motor vehicle has braking devices which are arranged on the wheel side and can be operated by way of tension members. The tension members are guided around by way of deflecting elements and, via a transmission element, are connected with a hand brake lever. The deflecting elements consist of two segments which are disposed opposed to one another and on a common swivel axis and are held in an inoperative position by at least one return element. Each segment has a deflecting contour with guide grooves for the tension cables forming the tension members.

  • Patent number: 5685200
    Abstract: A brake pressure rod is described for operating a vehicle brake and is arranged between a pedal and a brake booster. The brake pressure rod consists of an extruded profile with breakthroughs. On one end of the brake pressure rod, a bearing is arranged for the pedal and, on an opposite end, a receiving device is arranged for a rod of the brake cylinder. The brake pressure rod has a desired buckling point which, in the case of a pedal made of plastic and a brake pressure rod made of a light metal alloy, shifts danger as a result of destruction from the pedal to the brake pressure rod.

  • Patent number: 5074163
    Abstract: A plastic pedal for a motor vehicle (e.g. a clutch pedal), has a stepping plate portion at the front end of the pedal arm and a spring lever with bearing bores at a rear end. The pedal arm consists of a hollow profile having a rectangular cross-section and is provided with walls 15, 17 and 24 of approximately the same thickness and constructed to have smooth surfaces on the inside and on the outside. This type of a pedal has a low weight, takes up little space and has considerably stiffness, whereby relatively high torsional and bending stress can be absorbed.
