Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a lever type parking brake.

The proliferation of cars has allowed drivers of various body types to sit in their seats. For example, it is not always easy for short people to operate a lever-type parking brake. The lever-type parking brake is fixed to one side of the seat so that the lever body is perpendicular to the floor. For this reason, in order for a short person with short arms to operate the parking brake, it is necessary to fully extend the arm while leaning the body sideways, and move the lever body in a direction perpendicular to the floor. This operation cannot be called easy in practice.

This idea focuses on the points mentioned above, and basically involves forming a protrusion on the floor and using technical means to fix the bracket to which the lever body is attached to the protrusion so that its inclination can be adjusted freely. use According to this invention, since the lever body can be tilted toward the driver, the lever operation force is small, and even a weak driver can easily operate the parking brake. Furthermore, this invention can eliminate the lateral force component that occurs when operating a parking brake mounted perpendicular to the floor, making it possible to reduce the design strength required for the parking brake, resulting in lighter weight. It can be done.

According to this invention, there is provided a lever-type parking brake characterized in that a sector that cooperates with the lever body is fixed to a bracket, and the bracket is fixed to a protrusion provided on the floor so that its inclination can be adjusted. Ru.

An embodiment of this invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

A protrusion 2 is provided on a floor 1 of a vehicle. This protrusion 2 has a semicircular section 8 at its top and has vertical wall surfaces 9 at the front and rear of the vehicle.
Fix bracket 3 to. The bracket 3 includes a pair of opposing walls 1 provided apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
0 to face the vertical wall surface 9, and the protrusion 2
The bolt 4 is passed through the protrusion 2 and the nut 5 is tightened to fix it to the protrusion 2.

A sector 6 and a lever body 7 for a hand-type parking brake are fixed to the bracket 3.

In the above-described configuration, the bracket 3 having the sector 6 and the lever body 7 is tilted with respect to the protrusion 2 by an angle according to the driver's preference, and then the nut 5 is tightened to move the bracket 3 to the protrusion 2.
be firmly fixed. As a result, the driver can grasp the grip of the lever body 7 and operate the parking brake simply by extending his arm. Since the angle θ can be set arbitrarily, the driver's needs can always be satisfied.
