  • Patent number: 11801820
    Abstract: An electrically actuatable operating unit (106) for a motor vehicle brake comprises a housing body (122) which is arranged so as to be displaceable in a braking direction for operation of the motor vehicle brake, a recess (150) formed in the housing body (122), wherein the recess (150) is delimited at one longitudinal end by a contact shoulder (172), a through-opening (158) delimited by the contact shoulder (172), an operating member (124) which is arranged in the recess (150) so as to be displaceable for operation of the motor vehicle brake and projects through the through-opening (158) of the contact shoulder (172), wherein the operating member (124) can be arranged in a force-transmitting manner between a brake pedal and the motor vehicle brake (400).

  • Patent number: 9776610
    Abstract: The invention relates to a modular leakage protection device for a fluid container of a vehicle brake system. The modular leakage protection device comprises a housing which attaches the modular leakage protection device to a fluid discharge opening of the fluid container. The modular leak protection device further includes a switching element, which can be moved between an open position, in which a fluid passage in the housing is released, and a closed position, in which the fluid passage is closed. The switching element is preloaded into the closed position by means of at least one to preloading means.
