Abstract:
An illustrative example drum brake device includes a drum having an inner, braking surface. At least one brake shoe includes a friction lining and a support structure for the friction lining. The support structure includes a window having a first portion that is wider than a second portion. A shoe mount is configured to be received through the first portion of the window and engage the support structure adjacent the second portion of the window in a manner that resists movement of the brake shoe in two dimensions and allows selective movement of the brake shoe in a third dimension for allowing the friction lining to selectively engage the braking surface.
Abstract:
A parking brake system for a vehicle includes a parking brake wire configured to be routed along the vehicle to a wheel assembly and a mounting bracket coupled to the parking brake wire. The mounting bracket is configured to mount the parking brake wire to an undercarriage of the vehicle. The mounting bracket has an edge configured to face a fuel tank of the vehicle. A crash protection sleeve is coupled to the parking brake wire near the mounting bracket. The crash protection sleeve is positioned to engage the fuel tank prior to the edge of the mounting bracket engaging the fuel tank in an event of a vehicle crash. The crash protection sleeve may surround the parking brake wire and may prevent contact of the mounting bracket with the fuel tank.

Abstract:
A parking brake apparatus may include: a motor unit; a driving unit operated by the motor unit; a nut screw rotated by the driving unit; a bolt screw coupled to the nut screw so as to pass through the nut screw, and moved in a longitudinal direction inside the nut screw in connection with the rotation of the nut screw; a cable having one side connected to the bolt screw; a hook part connected to the other side of the cable; and a boot part having an internal space in which the cable and the hook part are moved in the longitudinal direction, and including a stopper arranged on a moving path of the hook part so as to restrict the movement of the hook part.
Abstract:
One embodiment provides a vehicle brake apparatus, including: an electric actuator; and a drum brake. The drum brake is attached to a wheel so as to be driven by power exhibited by the electric actuator. In a state of being mounted on a vehicle, the electric actuator is disposed and fixed further rearwards than an axle of the wheel.
Abstract:
A brake system for the wheeled luggage case and control device thereof are provided. The control device includes: a case body, a press positioning assembly, a slide block, a fixed pulley, and a brake wire. The press positioning assembly is actuated to slide at the top of the case body, such that the resisting convex block slides from one end of the slope surface to the other end of the slope surface, and the slide block is urged towards the bottom of the case body, such that the inner wire of the brake wire driven by the slide block controls the brake member to brake the wheel of the wheeled luggage case. It is more convenient to use the control device to brake the wheel of the wheeled luggage case.
Abstract:
A wire quick release device of the present invention is mounted on a bicycle in association with a brake device and a brake wire of the bicycle. The wire quick release device includes a quick release having a handle to operate in order to press the brake wire onto the brake device and loosen the brake wire in order to simplify the work of fastening and releasing the brake wire.
Abstract:
Drum brake shoe, particularly for a motor vehicle, in which a brake cable (64) has an end terminal (66) for attachment to a lever (50) that acts on the shoe (4), this shoe comprising a rigid web one edge of which is formed with a cut-out (90) providing access to the cable (64) attachment end terminal (66) to make it easier to detach this cable.
Abstract:
A one-piece sheet metal combination retainer and anchor for use in a non-servo floating shoe drum brake assembly (10) having a pair of laterally extending ears (62, 64,94, 96) for axially retaining respective ends (22, 24) of a pair of brake shoes (12, 14), and a pair of rivet head reinforceable axially extending portions (58, 60, 82, 84) for anchoring the brake shoe ends during brake application. A base portion (50, 88) has one or more rivet (54, 56, 86, 90) or shaft (92) receiving apertures with the each of the axially extending portions abutted by a rivet head flat surface (70). The base portion has a transversely extending central region (76, 98) to provide, in conjunction with a brake assembly backing plate (52), a parking brake cable (80) retaining clamp.
Abstract:
A bicycle disc brake device includes a fixed member, an actuation unit and an adjustment structure. The fixed member includes a caliper housing. The actuation unit is coupled to the fixed member. The actuation unit is configured and arranged to move a friction member of the disc brake device from a release position to a braking position. The adjustment structure is operatively arranged to selectively orient the actuation unit relative to the fixed member in a plurality of fixed orientations.
