Abstract
An arrangement is disclosed for the detachable coupling connection of a brake cable line (2) to a fixed buffer block (8) spaced from an expanding lever brake (4), an encasing pipe assembly (5) surround the cable line (21). The encasing pipe assembly (5) may be two-part construction, a cable socket (6) and a thrust bushing (7) being adapted to be telescoped one over the other and secured together to be clamped to the buffer block (8). A fixing element (13) is attached to the cable (2) and a sliding bushing is fit over the fixing element, on interposed spring (21) and seal (27) fit over the cable (2) and extending between the buffer block (8) and lever (4). A number of encasing pipe assembly designs are described.
Claims14
An arrangement for detachably connecting a cable having a casing to a movable lever, comprising:
- a cable fixing element attached to the end of said cable, and engaged with said lever;
- a fixed buffer block spaced away from said lever, and having a through opening extending therethrough from one side to another side;
- an encasing pipe assembly mounting within said buffer block opening and means for axially securing said encasing pipe assembly to said buffer block;
- said encasing pipe assembly having a socket portion at one end having an opening receiving said casing of said cable, and formed with a smaller diameter through opening through which said cable passes in extending to said cable fixing element;
- a sliding bushing slidably received over said cable fixing element;
- a spring interposed between said sliding bushing and said encasing pipe assembly;
- and
- an elongated seal surrounding said cable, one end of said seal secured to said encasing pipe assembly and the other end secured to said sliding bushing.
An arrangement for detachably connecting an encased cable to a lever, comprising:
- a cable fixing element attached to the end of said cable, said cable fixing element configured to capture said lever;
- a fixed buffer block spaced away from said lever and having an opening extending therethrough;
- an encasing pipe assembly mounted within said buffer block opening, said encasing pipe assembly including a cable socket having a socket at one end receiving an end of said casing of said cable, and formed with an extension portion extending from said socket, and passing through said buffer block opening and a flange surrounding abutting against one side of said buffer block, said casing pipe assembly further including a thrust bushing having a portion formed with a bore receiving said cable socket extension, said thrust bushing portion fit into said buffer block bore and formed with a surrounding flange abutting another side of said buffer block;
- securing means detachably latching said cable socket and thrust bushing together axially;
- said casing pipe assembly having a relatively small diameter passage through which said cable passes in extending to said lever and cable fixing element;
- a sliding bushing slidably received over said cable fixing element;
- and a spring surrounding said cable and interposed between said buffer block and said sliding bushing.
