Abstract
A lever system for actuating a clutch or a brake for a vehicle, such as a motor vehicle. The actuating force for the clutch or transmission brake is changeable by displacing a fulcrum with respect to a lever. An energy storage mechanism may act at one end portion of the lever and a pressure plate of a clutch or a transmission brake may act, directly or indirectly, on the other end portion.
Claims59
A lever system for actuating one of a clutch and a transmission brake, the lever system comprising:
- a lever having a first end portion, a second end portion, a first support point, and a second support point, the lever providing an actuating force for the one of the clutch and the transmission brake;
- and
- a fulcrum displaceable between a first position engaging the lever at the first support point to a second position engaging the lever at the second support point;
- wherein a displacement of the fulcrum from the first position to the second position changes the actuating force.
