Abstract
The actuating device for a vehicle brake system comprises a force input member, which can be coupled to a brake pedal, and a brake master cylinder. The brake master cylinder has at least one force transmission member. The force transmission member is coupled to the force input member in an articulating fashion. The force transmission member is positioned to transmit a force, which has been exerted onto the force input member, to the brake master cylinder. The actuating device has at least one elastically deformable positioning element. The at least one positioning element produces a holding force with which the at least one positioning element holds the at least one force input member in an installation position relative to the brake master cylinder.
Claims17
An actuating device for a vehicle brake system, having:
- a force input member disposed between a brake pedal and a spherical end section, the force input member extending along a longitudinal axis and being integral to the spherical end section;
- a brake master cylinder, with the brake master cylinder having at least one force transmission member, which is coupled to the spherical end section of the force input member in an articulating fashion, and the force transmission member being positioned to transmit a force, which has been exerted onto the force input member and the spherical end section, to the brake master cylinder;
- and
- at least one elastically deformable positioning element being axially spaced apart from the spherical end section and being disposed between an intermediate element and the force input member, wherein the at least one positioning element produces a holding force with which the at least one positioning element holds the at least one force input member in an installation position relative to the brake master cylinder.
