Patent number: 10688973Abstract: A parking brake emulator assembly for a vehicle is provided. The emulator assembly includes a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket includes a front spring mounting flange with a spring mounting hole. The emulator assembly further includes a brake lever, a spring guiding rod, a spring, and a rear spring holder. The brake lever is rotatable relative to the mounting bracket into a neutral position and a brake application position. The spring guiding rod is coupled to the brake lever via a pinned connection, and extends through the spring and the rear spring holder. Rotation of the brake lever from the neutral position to the brake application position moves the pinned connection to thereby move the spring guiding rod and the rear spring holder towards the front spring mounting flange, thereby compressing the spring.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2018Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: FLEX-N-GATE ADVANCED PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT LLCInventors: Jaafar Bashiry-Khoshraftar, Simon Kwan Hoi Chan, Hai Yang Zou, Rajesh Marwaha, Joaquin Hung, Ramesh Periasamy

Patent number: 8813601Abstract: Provided is a retainer for assisting in installation of a parking brake actuator for use in a vehicle by limiting relative movement of an input lever and a mounting bracket. The retainer has a first part and a second part connected via frangible connection(s). The first part of the retainer is fixed relative to a mounting bracket and the second part is fixed relative to the input lever (via a pivot member). After installation, the lever is moved from its first, installation position to a second, in-use position. The application of force and movement of the lever rotates the pivot member, which rotates the second part of the retainer relative to the first part thereby breaking the frangible connection(s). The input lever of the brake actuator is then ready for use to apply or release brakes of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2011Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: Ventra Group, Inc.Inventors: Christopher George Arthur Hind, Peter Revelis, Simon Kwan Hoi Chan, Jaafar Bashiry-Khoshraftar

Patent number: 8528705Abstract: A brake actuator for use in a motor vehicle having brakes actuable by a cable system with cables. The brake actuator includes a mounting bracket and an output member connected to the cables. The brake actuator includes an input lever mounted to the mounting bracket at a pivot for movement in brake applying and brake releasing directions. The pivot of the input lever is spaced axially from the output member and connected to the output member to effect movement of the output member. A plate is provided between the mounting bracket and the input lever and prevents contact between the mounting bracket and the input lever during movement between the brake applying and releasing directions. An additional plate is provided between the mounting bracket and a cover portion and prevents contact between the mounting bracket and the cover portion during movement between the brake applying and brake releasing directions.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2010Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: Ventra Group, Inc.Inventors: Peter Revelis, Mark Van Ryswyck, Jaafar Bashiry-Khoshraftar
