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

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 ().
