Electric parking brake manual override

A manual override mechanism for an electric brake comprising, in combination:

• a flexible cable having an elongate outer conduit and an elongate inner core extending within the conduit, the inner core having a first end and a second end;
• a conduit end fitting secured to an end of the outer conduit;
• a housing located within the conduit end fitting and rotatable therein;
• a core end fitting secured to the first end of the inner core, the core end fitting located within the housing;
• a clutch between the housing and the core end fitting such that rotation of the housing relative to the conduit end fitting causes rotation of the core end fitting when below a predetermined torque and rotation of the housing relative to the conduit end fitting does not cause rotation of the core end fitting when above the predetermined torque;
• and
• a connector to be operably connected to the electric brake and engaged by the second end of the inner core.

• a core end fitting secured to an end of the inner core, the core end fitting located within the housing and longitudinally movable from a first position to a second position such that the end of the inner core moves toward the end of the outer conduit;
• and
• a clutch between the housing and the core end fitting such that rotation of the housing relative to the conduit end fitting causes rotation of the core end fitting when below a predetermined torque and rotation of the housing relative to the conduit end fitting does not cause rotation of the core end fitting when above the predetermined torque.
