Abstract
Brake adjustment dials, systems, and components adjust the brake bias in a vehicle. In one example, a brake bias adjustment dial includes an electronic display, an adjustment mechanism that transfers rotational torque to a shaft, and a rotation prevention feature that compensates the rotation of the adjustment mechanism to maintain the image displayed on the electronic display in a substantially fixed orientation with respect to a mounting.
Claims32
A device for the adjustment of brake bias in a vehicle, the device comprising:
- a mounting;
- an adjustment mechanism comprising an outer housing configured to rotate, and an inner housing comprising an electronic display;
- a rotation prevention arrangement;
- and
- an attachment portion configured to in use attach to a shaft that is operatively connected to a brake bias control system,
- wherein in use, rotation of the adjustment mechanism causes mechanical torque to be transferred to the attachment portion and to thereby cause rotation of the shaft when attached thereto,
- wherein the rotation prevention arrangement operatively connects the inner housing to the mounting, so as to prevent rotation of the inner housing during rotation of the outer housing to thereby maintain the inner housing in a rotationally fixed orientation with respect to the mounting,
- wherein the electronic display is configured to provide an indication of the brake bias, and
- wherein the rotation prevention arrangement comprises a geared connection operatively connecting the mounting and the inner housing of the adjustment mechanism to thereby keep the inner housing rotationally fixed relative to the mounting.
