Mechanical coupling for vehicle brake pedal

摘要

The brake rod (2) is pivot-mounted onto a pin that projects from the brake pedal (1). The rod connects with a pneumatic or hydraulic force amplifier to apply a load to the brakes. The mechanical connection between the rod and the pedal is provided by a slot (10) that fits around the pin and is axially retained by a circlip (11). In the event of an externally generated load being applied, the slot is forced open to break the mechanical connection
