An anchoring device including a support member having a slot open out at one edge thereof for receiving a first cylindrical portion of the sheath terminal, a retainer for receiving and retaining a second cylindrical portion of the sheath terminal, and a guide for guiding the retainer as the second cylindrical portion of the sheath terminal is received therein, the guide including guide members that are formed integrally with the support member.

Anchoring device for a sheath terminal

An operating system for a parking brake, in particular of a motor vehicle, includes an operating element which is manually brought from a release position to a brake position for engaging the parking brake and which can be removed from the brake position without disengaging the parking brake. The operating system includes a follower element which is connected to the operating element such that the follower element follows any movement of the operating element. Further, the operating system includes a releasable locking mechanism with a locking element to lock the follower element in the brake position and a separating element which allows to separate the connection between the operating element and the follower element independently from the releasable locking mechanism.

Operating system for a parking brake

The present invention relates to an actuation system for a parking brake of a motor vehicle, comprising a foot or a hand-actuated manual actuation means () for tightening of the parking brake, wherein the parking brake is purely mechanically tightened via the actuation means, a locking mechanism () for tightening and releasing of the parking brake, wherein the actuation means () and the locking mechanism () are arranged at different positions of the motor vehicle, respectively.

Actuation system for a parking brake

A device for the actuation of vehicle brakes has a pull element which can be brought into a lockable braking position in order to pull at least a part of a vehicle brake, the pull element being capable of being tensioned by a tension element in this braking position, and which can be brought into a released position, in which the pull element is relaxed to an extent such that the at least a part of the vehicle brake is released, the device being provided with a retensioning device which, in the released position, automatically retensions the pull element.

Device for the actuation of vehicle brakes

The present invention relates to an opening mechanism () for at least one brake in particular a parking brake comprising an actuator (), connected to at least one brake cable () and a load sensor () for determining the mechanical load of the at least one brake cable () wherein the mechanical load of the at least one brake cable () is determined via the actuator () and decoupled from the at least one brake cable (). By the arrangement according to the present invention, a direct connection between the actuator () and the brake cable () is provided wherein the load sensor () does not work as a load transmission or a coupling component. This arrangement meets high security requirements even in case of a failure of the load sensor () since the function of the operating mechanism () is not affected or prevented thereby.

Mechanism with load sensor for operating a brake

A pedal security system for pedal mounting, particularly for motor vehicles, includes a pedal rotatably mounted on a pedal axis, an opening for receiving and retaining the pedal axis which is connected with an expandable slot wherein the expandable slot receives the pedal axis by exceeding a mechanical limit load of the pedal axis.

Pedal security system

The invention relates to a ratio regulating mechanism for an manually actuated action lever, like a hand brake lever or a pedal, in particular for the use in a motor vehicle, which comprises a mounting (), an action lever arm () and a rotational shaft () for rotably mounting of the action lever arm () at the mounting (), wherein the rotational shaft () is relocatably mounted at the action lever arm () and relocatably mounted at the mounting (). Further, the ratio regulating mechanism comprises a first adjustment means () for the relocation of the rotational shaft () in relation to the action lever arm () and a second adjustment means () for the relocation of the rotational shaft () in relation to the mounting ().

Ratio regulation mechanism for an action lever

An operating mechanism () for a parking brake, particularly for motor vehicles, arranged in a housing () comprising a threaded rod () driven by a motor () having a first brake cable fixing () guided on said threaded rod () for the transformation of said rotation of said motor () in a linear movement of said first brake cable fixing (); and a second brake cable fixing () in axial arrangement with said first brake cable fixing () and said motor () for executing a relative movement of said first () and said second brake cable fixing () to each other whereby said first () and said second brake cable fixing () can carry out a common relative movement with respect to the housing () for a uniform load distribution to the connected brake cables ().
