Abstract: A master for a hydraulic actuating element, with a cylinder, in which a piston is displaceably mounted, and a hand lever, with which the position of the piston in the cylinder can be influenced, and a fastening element which comprises a clamping part shaped complementarily to the inner cross section of the handlebar, which is equipped for being fastened in the handlebar by means of an internal clamping. Furthermore, the invention relates to a master, in which the hand lever and the piston are connected by a push rod, which comprises a first longitudinal portion, which is provided with an external thread, which engages in an internal thread on the hand lever, so that the distance between piston and hand lever can be adjusted by turning the push rod, and wherein the push rod comprises a second longitudinal portion, which is provided with a polygonal outer cross section, which bears against at least one second spring element.

Abstract: A connection element (20) is disclosed for connecting a hydraulic pipe to brake pliers, a brake cylinder, a slave cylinder and/or a master cylinder for a hydraulic brake and/or hydraulic clutch, in particular for motorcycles and/or bicycles. The connection element (20) has a fastening section (20A) for fastening the hydraulic pipe to the connection element (20), and a connection section (20B) for connecting the connection element (20) to the element of the hydraulic system. The connection section (20) has a ring-shaped zone (24) and at least one extension that extends away from the ring-shaped zone (24), substantially to the side of the ring plane. Also disclosed are brake pliers (30) for a hydraulic brake, in particular for motorcycles and/or bicycles, having a housing (31) in which a disk chamber for receiving a disk brake and at least one brake cylinder for receiving a brake piston (43) are formed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a brake cylinder (100) and a hydraulic rim brake comprising a unit for receiving a brake pad (103). With known brake cylinders, it is difficult to remove the running wheel if the tire mounted on the wheel rim (6) is substantially wider than the wheel rim (6), since the wheel has to be moved through the gap between the two brake pads arranged on the brake cylinder. The brake cylinder according to the invention should have a simple structure and permit easy removal of the running wheel. The brake cylinder (100) according to the invention has a connecting member (302) for the arrangement of the brake cylinder (100) on a frame part (2″) in a manner rotatable about an axis, the axis being essentially orthogonal to the receiving unit for the brake pad (103).
