Pull-handle arrangement for releasing a foot-operated parking brake of a motor vehicle
View Patent ↗Pull-handle arrangement for releasing a foot-operated parking brake of a motor vehicle. A pull-handle arrangement having a handle element which is held in a linearly movable manner in a handle mounting fixed on the vehicle and, with the aid of a cable, acts on the foot-operated parking brake, and also is in operative connection with a restoring spring of the foot-operated parking brake. Dampers which retard the return movement of the handle element are provided between the handle element and handle mounting.
1. Pull-handle arrangement for releasing a foot-operated parking brake of a motor vehicle, having a handle element which is held in a linearly movable manner in a handle mounting fixed on the vehicle and with a pulling means acts on the foot-operated parking brake, said handle element being in operative connection with a restoring spring of the foot-operated parking brake,
wherein damping means which retard a return movement of the handle element are provided between the handle element and the handle mounting, and
wherein the damping means are formed by an air-damping unit.
2. Pull-handle arrangement for releasing a foot-operated parking brake of a motor vehicle, having a handle element which is held in a linearly movable manner in a handle mounting fixed on the vehicle and with a pulling means acts on the foot-operated parking brake, said handle element being in operative connection with a restoring spring of the foot-operated parking brake,
wherein damping means which retard a return movement of the handle element are provided between the handle element and the handle mounting, and
wherein the handle mounting has rolling elements which bring about the linear movement of the handle element from opposite sides.
3. Pull-handle arrangement for releasing a foot-operated parking brake of a motor vehicle, having a handle element which is held in a linearly movable manner in a handle mounting fixed on the vehicle and with a pulling means acts on the foot-operated parking brake, said handle element being in operative connection with a restoring spring of the foot-operated parking brake,
wherein damping means which retard a return movement of the handle element are provided between the handle element and the handle mounting, and
wherein the handle mounting is designed as a piston-sleeve guide.
4. Pull-handle arrangement according to claim 3 , wherein two mutually parallel guide pistons are arranged on the handle mounting which is fixed to the vehicle, and two corresponding guide sleeves are arranged on the handle element.
5. Pull-handle arrangement according to claim 4 , wherein impact-damping elements are provided at ends of the guide pistons which are positioned in the guide sleeves.
6. Pull-handle arrangement according to claim 5 , wherein the impact-damping elements are produced from foam.
7. Pull-handle arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the air-damping unit is formed by regions of play and clearance sections between the guide pistons and guide sleeves.
8. Pull-handle arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein running surfaces with a contour matched to the rolling elements are assigned to the rolling elements on the handle element.
9. A pull-handle assembly for releasing a foot operated parking brake of a motor vehicle, comprising:
a handle element acting on the foot-operated parking brake via a cable and being in operative connection with a restoring spring of the foot-operated parking brake;
a handle mounting, which is fixed on the vehicle, holding the handle element in a linearly movable manner; and
damping means for retarding a return movement of the handle element being provided between the handle element and the handle mounting.
10. Pull-handle assembly according to claim 9 , wherein two parallel guide pistons are arranged on the handle mounting and two corresponding guide sleeves are arranged on the handle element to form an air-damping unit.
