Abstract
An actuator mounting, in particular, a clutch or brake mounting for a vehicle, includes a mounting housing (3) with an attachment shell (2) for attaching the mounting to a handlebar or a similar steering element, a hand lever (8) supported to rotate on the mounting housing (3), and a mechanical or hydraulic force transmission device arranged on the mounting housing (3). The actuator mounting includes a carrier plate (9) supported on the rotational bearing (7) in common with the hand lever (8) as an intermediate transmission element with multiple functions. The carrier plate (9) has contact points (16, 32, 34) for applying force to or tensioning the hand lever (8), the force transmission device, and the mounting housing stop (35).
Claims16
Actuator mounting for a clutch or brake for a vehicle comprising:
- a mounting housing with an attachment for attaching the mounting to a handlebar or steering element, with the mounting housing including a mounting housing stop;
- a hand lever rotatably supported on a rotational bearing on the mounting housing;
- a mechanical or hydraulic force transmission device arranged on the mounting housing;
- a carrier plate rotatably supported on the rotational bearing, wherein the carrier plate has a first contact point for applying force or tension on the force transmission device, a second contact point for applying force or tension on the hand lever, and a third contact point for applying force or tension on the mounting housing stop;
- a handle width adjustment screw;
- and
- a threaded borehole in the hand lever threadably receiving the handle width adjustment screw, with the handle width adjustment screw applying force to the second contact point, wherein the handle width adjustment screw has an outer activation head with radial projections for manual activation, with the radial projections located intermediate the threaded bore hole and the carrier plate, wherein the handle width adjustment screw has, on a section engaging the threaded borehole, a peripheral, circumferential groove corresponding in width to an adjustment path, and wherein a securing pin is fixed on the hand lever tangential to the threaded borehole and engages in the peripheral, circumferential groove.
