  • Publication number: 20220098914
    Abstract: A brake device for a drivable part, in particular for use for a vehicle flap, in particular in an automobile, includes a drivable load device (11) which can be radially brought into contact with a disc (90) of the drivable part, with a first holding position and a second release position. At least one brake element rests against the periphery (92) of the disc (90) in a frictional manner in the holding position and secures the disc (90) from rotating using a specifiable force. In the release position, the at least one brake element is arranged at a distance from the periphery of the disc (90) and allows a free run of the disc (90), and the load device (11) can be adjusted between the holding position and the release position, preferably by a motor (12).

  • Patent number: 8783131
    Abstract: A locking arrangement for locking a brake part held under tension is provided. The locking arrangement includes a gearing having a plurality of adjoining gears, a catch which can be pivoted about a catch coupling and which has at least one engaging nose that is biased in the direction toward the gearing on one engagement end. Either the catch coupling or the gearing can be pivoted about a main axis relative to each other, and a parking brake equipped with the locking arrangement. A locking arrangement, or a parking brake enabling an improved locking is created in that an auxiliary nose is associated with the catch at a distance from the engaging nose, and that the auxiliary nose is disposed such that it may be brought into contact with the gearing in front of the engaging nose.

  • Publication number: 20120186937
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rod comprising a long plastic body (1), an axial housing (3) close to the front end corresponding to the push button (2), and a compression spring (4) mounted in said housing (3), one end of the spring butting up to the front end wall (3?) of the housing, and the other end of the spring (4) butting up to a side piece (5) provided for this purpose on a plastic guiding part (6) on which the rod (1) slides during its straight movement, the guiding part (6) being fixed onto the actuating lever itself. The connection of each part to the traction lever enables the actuation of the handbrake of a motor vehicle.

  • Patent number: 7073635
    Abstract: A device for actuating a cable includes a lever pivotable about an axis, a connecting device for connecting the cable in an extension-resistant manner to the lever at a distance from the axis, the distance being decreased by pivoting the lever. The connecting device includes a traction rod having a variable length. A slideway is arranged on the lever transversely to the traction rod and has a profile in the form of a curve. The device also includes a sliding component for coupling the traction rod and the slideway, a device for reducing an effective length of the connecting device, a guide device arranged at the lever, and a shaped part for guiding the traction rod and coupled to the guide device.
