Abstract
A brake pressure rod is described for operating a vehicle brake and is arranged between a pedal and a brake booster. The brake pressure rod consists of an extruded profile with breakthroughs. On one end of the brake pressure rod, a bearing is arranged for the pedal and, on an opposite end, a receiving device is arranged for a rod of the brake cylinder. The brake pressure rod has a desired buckling point which, in the case of a pedal made of plastic and a brake pressure rod made of a light metal alloy, shifts danger as a result of destruction from the pedal to the brake pressure rod.
Claims19
A brake pressure rod assembly connectable in use between a brake pedal member and a brake booster connecting pin to transmit brake control forces therebetween, comprising:
- a brake pressure rod formed with a pair of side walls connected by a plurality of transverse ribs which separate transverse hollow breakthrough openings spaced along said side walls,
- a first end of said brake pressure rod having a bearing support which is pivotally connectable with the brake pedal member and an opposite second end of said brake pressure rod having a first longitudinally extending connecting pin accommodating opening in an end most of said transverse ribs.
