Abstract
A parking brake for a vehicle includes a lever holder including a housing that has a first flat side and a second flat side and a brake actuation lever pivotably arranged on the lever holder. The brake actuation lever is articulated to the first flat side and to the second flat side. The parking brake also includes a locking arrangement for holding the brake actuation lever in a locking position, a brake cable, and a deflection lever pivotably articulated to the first flat side and to the second flat side of the housing. The deflection lever is pivotably linked with the brake actuation lever. In addition, the parking brake includes a coupling unit disposed on the deflection lever for tensioning the brake cable during a displacement of the brake actuation lever.
Claims25
A parking brake for a vehicle, the parking brake comprising:
- a lever holder including a housing, wherein the housing comprises a first flat side and a second flat side;
- a brake actuation lever pivotably arranged on said lever holder, wherein said brake actuation lever is articulated to the first flat side and to the second flat side of said housing;
- a locking arrangement for holding said brake actuation lever in a locking position;
- a brake cable;
- a deflection lever pivotably articulated to the first flat side and to the second flat side of said housing, wherein said deflection lever is pivotably linked with said brake actuation lever and wherein the deflection lever is substantially arranged within the level holder;
- and
- a coupling unit for tensioning said brake cable during a displacement of said brake actuation lever, wherein said coupling unit is provided on said deflection lever.
A parking brake for a vehicle, the parking brake comprising:
- a lever holder including a housing, wherein the housing comprises a first flat side and a second flat side;
- a brake actuation lever pivotably arranged on said lever holder, wherein said brake actuation lever is articulated to the first flat side and to the second flat side of said housing;
- a locking arrangement for holding said brake actuation lever in a locking position;
- a brake cable:
- a deflection lever pivotably articulated to the first flat side and to the second flat side of said housing, wherein said deflection lever is pivotably linked with said brake actuation lever;
- a coupling unit for tensioning said brake cable during a displacement of said brake actuation lever, wherein said coupling unit is provided on said deflection lever, wherein said deflection lever includes a receptacle having a first deflection-lever flat side including a first recess and a second deflection-lever flat side including a second recess, and a joint connecting said brake actuation lever to said lever holder, the joint passing through said first and second recesses.
A parking brake for a vehicle, the parking brake comprising:
- a lever holder including a housing, wherein the housing comprises a first flat side and a second flat side;
- a brake actuation lever pivotably arranged on said lever holder, wherein said brake actuation lever is articulated to the first flat side and to the second flat side of said housing;
- a locking arrangement for holding said brake actuation lever in a locking position;
- a brake cable;
- a deflection lever pivotably articulated to the first flat side and to the second flat side of said housing, wherein said deflection lever is pivotably linked with said brake actuation lever;
- a coupling unit for tensioning said brake cable during a displacement of said brake actuation lever, wherein said coupling unit is provided on said deflection lever;
- a jointed connection disposed between said deflection lever and said lever holder, wherein said deflection lever comprises a boundary facing away from the jointed connection;
- a toothed element disposed at the boundary of the deflection lever;
- and a locking pawl disposed in a jointed manner on said lever holder, such that the toothed element and the locking pawl are capable of holding said brake actuation lever in said locking position.
A parking brake for a vehicle, the parking brake comprising:
- a lever holder including a housing, wherein the housing comprises a first flat side and a second flat side;
- a brake actuation lever pivotably arranged on said lever holder, wherein said brake actuation lever is articulated to the first flat side and to the second flat side of said housing;
- a locking arrangement for holding said brake actuation lever in a locking position;
- a brake cable;
- a deflection lever pivotably articulated to the first flat side and the second flat side of said housing, said deflection lever being pivotably linked with said brake actuation lever;
- a coupling unit for tensioning said brake cable during a displacement of said brake actuation lever, wherein said coupling unit is provided on said deflection lever;
- and
- a joint connecting the brake actuating lever with the deflection lever, wherein the joint is substantially arranged within the lever holder.
