DEVICE FOR TRANSMITTING FORCES AND GIVING SIGNALS FOR BRAKES

摘要

A force transmitting device for automotive vehicle use has a piston movable under force such as weight appearing between two vehicle parts. A plastic deformable body within the piston communicates with a rod biased by an adjustable spring to transmit movement as a function of the force. Coupled to the rod is a valve which controls a supply of compressed air for example, that can be released whenever the vehicle load exceeds a predetermined value.
