摘要:
The present invention relates to a braking lever assembly, more particularly, to a braking mechanism assembly for a motorcycle or bicycle in which the braking mechanisms of both the front and rear wheels can be simultaneously and synchronously actuated to ensure a safe and effective braking. As a result, driving safety can be properly ensured. The braking lever assembly generally comprises a mounting socket and a braking lever which is pivotally attached to the mounting socket. The mounting socket is provided with a pair of guiding holes for the braking cables. The braking lever is pivotally connected with a pulling rod by a 8-shape plate and the pulling rod in turn is provided with a pair of positioning holes for pivotally attaching the anchoring head of the braking cables therein. Wherein when the braking lever is depressed, the 8-shape plate together with the pulling rod are pulled backward such that the braking cables are pulled backward to actuate the braking mechanism for both the front and rear wheels. The wearing of the lining of each braking mechanism can be automatically adjusted and compensated by the shifting of the pulling rod which is pivotally attached to the 8-shape plate. Consequently, the front and rear braking mechanisms can be simultaneously actuated with equal braking force to ensure riding safety.
摘要:
A brake lever structure for the synchronized control of front and rear wheel brakes comprised of a braking structure that maintains an equalized braking force to the front and rear wheel which is installed between a brake lever and a brake lever mount and thereby provides even more positive front and rear wheel braking actuation. The braking structure consists of a coupling element extending from an end of the brake lever as well as a linkage component that is movably conjoined to the coupling element and, furthermore, consists of a link rod having pull rods movably conjoined to each of its two ends. A stop rib protrudes from the top end of the rear guide hole of the brake lever mount such that the rear brake pull rod becomes engaged onto the stop rib during brake application and, furthermore, fixes the angle of the brake lever and the link rod, which is a structurally innovative feature of the present invention. When a vehicle equipped with the invention herein is ridden, if any one of the two brake cables become severed, the cable remaining intact is still capable of effectively actuating either the front wheel brake or the rear wheel brake. As such, when the brake lever actuates the linkage component, the two pull rods drawing back the cables traveling in parallel within the two guide holes of the brake lever mount are not only capable of maintaining the synchronized application of the front and rear wheel brakes and at an equalized force, but also of ensured braking capacity when one of the two brake cables is no longer intact to enhance braking stability and performance and thereby provide greater safety.
