Device for load-dependent brake actuation with integrated spring action

Abstract

Device for actuating a brake, in particular for a mobile aid such as a rollator, comprising a handle area (10) movably arranged relative to a support element (20), a braking device (40) coupled to the handle area (10), and an elastic element (30), characterized in that the handle area (10) performs an elastic movement under the influence of the elastic element (30) when subjected to a load, in which forces acting on the handle area (10) are at least partially absorbed by a spring action, and in that, depending on the load on the handle area (10), a force is transmitted via a coupling (50) to the braking device (40), thereby generating or increasing a braking effect, wherein the elastic movement and the braking effect can occur at least sectionally simultaneously and / or successively.
