Abstract
A hydraulic brake adjusting device is provided. The mechanical advantage may be automatically increased by pressed the handlebar by riders and then increased the angle lead by the leading plate(s). Thereby, it may simplify structure, be easy to operate, and be capable of automatically adjusting mechanical advantage while riding. Furthermore, the distance between the O-ring on the tube and the through hole of the piston may be adjusted by the screw barrel to make the convex portion push against the tube, the piston, and the push rod.

A hydraulic brake adjusting device, comprising:
- a hydraulic cylinder including a cavity wherein one end of the hydraulic cylinder is formed with a bifurcation extending therefrom, two through holes are passed through the bifurcation, one end of the hydraulic cylinder adjacent to the bifurcation is formed with a first stop ring, and an other end of the hydraulic cylinder away from the bifurcation is formed with a second stop ring;
- a piston passing through the cavity of the hydraulic cylinder and located between the first stop ring and the second stop ring, the piston including a rod portion, a ring portion, and a head portion wherein the head portion is connected to one end of the rod portion adjacent to the bifurcation, the ring portion is arranged around the rod portion and spaced apart from the head portion, a blind hole is formed inwardly at an other end of the rod portion away from the bifurcation, and a V-shaped ring is sleeved between the head portion and the ring portion;
- a tube movably plugged inside the cavity of the hydraulic cylinder, sleeved on one end of the rod portion including the blind hole, and located between the second stop ring and the ring portion of the piston, the tube including an oil hole;
- an elastic member sleeved on the rod portion of the piston wherein two ends of the elastic member are against the tube and the ring portion of the piston respectively;
- a handlebar pivotably connected to the Bifurcation, the handlebar including a U-shaped connecting portion, a pivot rod, and a handle portion pivotably connected to the U-shaped connecting portion through the pivot rod wherein two ends of the pivot rod are exposed and passed through the bifurcation, and two cylindrical holes are formed at the U-shaped connecting portion and pivotably connected to a bottom of the bifurcation through a transmission member;
- a push rod disposed between the piston and the handlebar wherein one end of the push rod is against the head portion of the piston and an other end of the push rod is against the handle portion of the handlebar;
- and
- an adjusting member disposed at the other end of the hydraulic cylinder away from the Bifurcation, the adjusting member including a plug and a screw barrel;
- wherein the plug includes a convex portion, a shoulder portion, and an outer thread rod portion;
- wherein the shoulder portion is disposed between the outer thread rod portion and the convex portion;
- wherein the plug is disposed inside the other end of the hydraulic cylinder adjacent to the second stop ring and against the second stop ring with the shoulder portion;
- wherein the convex portion is against one end of the tube away from the elastic member;
- wherein the screw barrel includes an inner threaded portion, a ring portion, and a hexagonal portion;
- and
- wherein the inner threaded portion is screwed at the outer thread rod portion of the plug.
