Abstract: A device for adjusting a cable pull of a vehicle parking brake includes an actuating lever rotatable about a first axis, a pull element and a locking element. The pull element includes a pull rod and a guide housing, wherein the pull rod includes notches and is spring-loaded in an actuating direction of the cable pull. The guide housing is pivotably mounted about a second axis disposed outside a line defined by the actuating direction. The locking element includes a latch part releasably engaging the notches of the pull rod, wherein the locking element is mounted pivotably with respect to the guide housing, wherein a force acting in the actuating direction of the cable pull creates a torque on the pull element about the second axis that is proportional to the force.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for adjusting a cable pull for parking brakes, comprising a first actuation lever (1) that can be rotated about a first axis (A1), a notched (7a) pull element (3) that is spring-loaded in the direction of actuation of the cable pull, and a latching element (5) provided with a latch (5a). Said latch (5a) of the latching element (5) releasably engages with the notches (7a) of the pull element (3). The pull element (3) is mounted so as to be swiveled about a second axis (A2) and comprises a notched (7a) pull rod (7) and a guide housing (6). The swiveled bearing of the pull element (3) about the second axis (A2) is disposed on the guide housing (6). The invention provides a device for adjusting the cable pull of parking brakes that is inexpensive in production, ensures a long and reliable operation and is insensitive to soiling.
