A disengageable pedal support for a foot control unit has a bearing bracket with two bearing arms and one bearing eyelet formed in each, the bearing eyelet having a continuation projecting laterally to the side of that bearing arm and facing the other bearing arm, an annular plain bearing shell in each bearing eyelet continuation having graduations forming graduated supports that have a smaller and a larger internal diameter part, a first suspended pedal supported by the smaller internal diameter parts and pivotable around an axis, and a second suspended pedal supported by the larger internal diameter parts, pivotable around the axis and suspended beside the first pedal. The support of one of the two pedals is designed as a plug-in support. Each annular plain bearing shell is formed by a molding made of self lubricating plastic material and provided with a radial opening in the larger internal diameter parts.

Suspended pedal support

An actuator for a cable-controlled hand brake of a motor vehicle including a ratchet carrier attached to the vehicle body, a brake actuating lever hingedly supported on the ratchet carrier, a spring-biased drive pawl formed as a rocker and having a circumferential toothing, a cable-supporting drive disc coupleable with the brake actuating lever and cooperating with the drive pawl, and a locking device including a toothed segment formed on the stationary ratchet carrier, and a locking pawl supported on the actuating lever, with the locking pawl being formed as a two-part locking pawl with the two parts being hingedly supported on the brake actuating lever for pivotal movement about a common axis independently of each other, and the two parts being automatically mechanically connectable with each other upon pivoting in at least one of their pivotal directions.
