Abstract
An electrical-mechanical brake apparatus includes a bracket () and a pedal arm () supported by the bracket (). One of the bracket () and the pedal arm () presents a cam body (). The other of the other of the pedal arm () and the bracket () presents a cam follower (). One of the cam body () and the cam follower () is rotatable. A cam bias () interconnects the rotatable one of the cam body () and the cam follower () to one of the bracket () and the pedal arm (). As the pedal arm () moves toward the bracket (), the cam follower () moves along the cam body (), compressing the cam bias () for simulating the feel of a purely mechanical brake system. In certain embodiments, the bracket () presents the cam body () while in other embodiments the pedal arm () presents the cam body. In certain embodiments, the cam body () rotates while in others the cam follower () rotates.
