Abstract: A lip-rolling and flanging tool for bending back and/or widening fender-wheelwell edges of motor vehicles, the tool having a flanging roll (46) that is attached through a telescoping tube arrangement (10) to an affixing flange (4) mountable on a wheel axle of the motor vehicle, and while generating a pressing force against the fender-wheelwell edge is pivotable together with the wheel axle, the flanging roll (46) is mounted in a forked support bracket (44) disposed at one end of the telescoping tube arrangement (10), which bracket is disposed in a rotatable and lockable manner between the clamping jaws (40, 40?) attached to the telescoping tube arrangement (10?), the clamping jaws (40, 40?) each have at least one recess or milled-out section (100,100?) that interacts with a pin (103) disposed in the flanging-roll support bracket (44) so as to restrict the pivoting range of the flanging-roll support bracket (44).

Abstract: The invention concerns a hydraulic actuating system for a parking brake of a motor vehicle, with which the parking brake is hydraulically set by means of a setting mechanism through the use of the pressure stored in a pressure accumulator and is mechanically locked in the braking position by a triggering device.

Abstract: In a parking brake mechanism and installation method of the mechanism in a vehicle, the mechanism includes a wind-up device for tightening a brake cable which wind-up device can be locked by a locking member to prevent tightening during installation. The brake cable comprises two sections, which are joined outside the vehicle by a coupling member, which is installed while the windup device is locked. The locking member includes a break-structure so that, upon installation of the coupling member, the locking member can be broken by pulling on the brake cable to permit the brake cable to be tightened thereby rendering the parking brake mechanism operational.

Abstract: In order to provide a mounting element for a foot-operated parking brake in a motor vehicle, the said mounting element being fastened in the driver-side foot space in the region of connection of an end wall to an end-wall column by means of screw connections and having components of the foot-operated parking brake connected to it, in order to arrange these for use in the vehicle, the said mounting element being light and at the same time being cost-effective to produce, it is proposed to have a mounting element made of plastic, in which the connection points between the mounting element and components of the foot-operated parking brake which are fastened to it are designed as metal inlay parts injection-molded around with the plastic of the mounting element, and in which these metal inlay parts are arranged in the region of the screw connections which serve for fastening the mounting element to the body.

Abstract: A device is for the automatic adjustment of the tension of a control cable of a vehicle parking brake. The device includes a swivelling lever mounted rotatably on the axis of an actuating lever of the vehicle parking brake, a locking disc which is provided with a circumferential toothing, is mounted rotatably on the swivelling lever and is fastened to the control cable, a spring element which is connected at one end to the locking disc and is fixed at the other end on the vehicle and is prestressed in the tensioning direction of the control cable, and a carry-along element which is held on the actuating lever and is arranged with a toothing which, after a swivelling backlash of the actuating lever, meshes with the circumferential toothing of the locking disc. In order, in a simple manner, to avoid as far as possible undesirable noises of the device when actuating the parking brake, the carry-along element may be held in an elastically moveable manner on the actuating lever.
