摘要:
A vacuum union having a tubular body adapted for transmitting a vacuum signal from an intake pipe of an internal combustion engine of a vehicle to a vacuum-operated brake booster of a vehicle brake device, and a branch pipe adapted for transmitting a vacuum signal from the tubular body to other vacuum-operated engine controlling devices. An orifice for restricting the level of the vacuum signal, to be transmitted to the brake booster, is located downstream of a branch pipe with respect to the intake pipe. Therefore, a drop in the vacuum level is effectively decreased for maintaining the proper operation of the brake device, even if the controlling devices are damaged, thereby causing the branch pipe to be opened to the atmosphere.

A hand brake lever assembly includes a plunger mounted on a support for axial slidable movement and for rotation about its axis and being connected at its one end to a parking brake, a locking mechanism associated with the plunger to retain the plunger in a pulled out position against a returning effort of the parking brake acting thereon and being arranged to be released by rotation of the plunger, a sleeve member secured to the other end of the plunger and having an annular end wall formed with a first annular cam surface and an axial key groove, a handle having a shaft extending therefrom and inserted into the sleeve member, the handle shaft being formed with an axial guide groove and being integrally provided with a cam member which is formed with a second annular cam surface complementary with the first cam surface and is axially slidably coupled within the sleeve member, a first spring for pressing the annular cam surfaces in contact with each other, a release rod axially slidably coupled with the guide groove for rotation with the handle, the release rod being formed at its one end with a key to be brought into engagement with the axial key groove and being provided at its other end with a knob, and a second spring for biasing the knob toward the plunger to disengage the key of the release rod from the axial key groove of the sleeve member.

A sealing boot for use in a disc brake assembly which includes a stationary support member having a support pin fixed thereto, and a caliper member having a boss portion slidably supported on the support pin. The sealing boot includes a bellows portion integrally formed at the opposite ends thereof with an outside cylindrical sealing portion coupled over the support pin and an inside cylindrical sealing portion coupled within an annular groove in the boss portion, the inside sealing portion being formed at its outer circumference with a first annular projection in contact with the bottom surface of the annular groove and at its inner circumference with a second annular projection sliding in contact with the support pin. The first annular projection of the inside sealing portion is formed at its one side with a steep annular surface directed outwardly and at its other side with a gentle slope annular surface and has a rounded annular head in contact with the bottom surface of the annular groove. The second annular projection is slightly displaced relative to the first annular projection.
摘要:
An improved method of manufacturing a strut member for use in a strut device of the drum brake, having two strut members and a connecting member provided with a threaded portion for linking both, to function as an adjustor of the shoe clearance. This manufacturing method comprises as least the following two processes: (a) forming a flat plate-like portion partially on a length of a tube while producing a through bore therein as a displaced space, by inserting a mandrel substantially concentrically into a tube material, pressing or squeezing a portion of the tube in the diametrical direction in such a manner that the inside of the tube is pressed onto the mandrel for producing the displaced space therein, after retracting the mandrel until the inside surface of the tube at upper and lower portion thereof on either side of the displaced space closely contact to each other; and (b) forming a cut-out, ranging from the extremity of the tube to a part of the flattened portion, such that the through bore can have the opening thereof at the bottom of the cut-out to be able to engage with the web portion of a brake shoe.
