A hollow shaft, Belleville springs, and a fixed position sensor simplify parking brake actuation while directly detecting cable tension.
A variable-ratio transmission and force trigger shorten parking brake engagement time while keeping actuator size and cost lower.
A pivoted actuating member uses reaction force to brake both wheels together with fewer parts, less space, and lower rider effort.
Before autonomous mode starts, the control unit verifies foot brake actuation to prevent emergency brake failure after long idle periods.
Flexible retaining webs let a parking brake cable move with the axle while resisting stone-chip detachment and simplifying clip assembly.
Integrated lever merges equalizer and rotational functions to reduce power divider component count.
Spirally wound fluorocarbon protrusions on the central wire eliminate lubricant contamination, reducing maintenance frequency for smoother operation.
A swingable balance member transmits actuation force to rear wheel brake mechanisms via a traction device and coupling pin.
A bicycle caliper brake uses a spring-loaded C-ring and trigger pin to pivotably adjust cable tension for rapid pad gap changes.
A bicycle brake actuator transmits backpedaling motion via a tensioned loop to a lever, enabling coaster braking without increasing device complexity.
