Abstract

An adjustor for a secondary pump of a brake is provided, including: a main body, being integrally formed of one piece, including a cylinder and a handle connected to the cylinder, the cylinder having a chamber thereinside, the handle having a passage in communication with the chamber; a piston, movably received in the chamber; a blocking member, connected to the cylinder; and a rod, connected to the piston and extending through the cylinder.

Claims (29)

1. An adjustor for a secondary pump of a brake, including:

a main body, being integrally formed of one piece, including a cylinder and a handle connected to the cylinder, the cylinder having a chamber thereinside, the handle having a passage in communication with the chamber;

a piston, movably received in the chamber;

a blocking member, connected to the cylinder;

a rod, connected to the piston and extending through the cylinder; and

a reinforcement member, wherein the reinforcement member is assembled to the main body and abutted against and between the cylinder and the handle.

2. The adjustor of claim 1 , further including a bushing engaged in the cylinder, wherein the bushing and the main body are made of different materials, and the bushing is disposed around the rod.

3. The adjustor of claim 2 , further including an O-ring engaged in the cylinder, wherein the O-ring is disposed around the rod and abutted against the bushing.

4. An adjustor for a secondary pump of a brake, including:

a main body, being integrally formed of one piece, including a cylinder and a handle connected to the cylinder, the cylinder having a chamber thereinside, the handle having a passage in communication with the chamber;

a piston, movably received in the chamber;

a blocking member, connected to the cylinder; and

a rod, connected to the piston and extending through the cylinder;

wherein the blocking member is connected to the cylinder by a connection assembly, a weight ratio of the main body and the connection assembly ranges from 0.610 to 0.810, a weight ratio of the main body and the piston ranges from 0.325 to 0.525, a weight ratio of the main body and the blocking member ranges from 0.325 to 0.525, and a weight ratio of the main body and the rod ranges from 0.300 to 0.500.

5. The adjustor of claim 4 , wherein the reinforcement member is made of metal and detachable; the adjustor further includes a bushing engaged in the cylinder, the bushing is made of copper, the main body is made of nylon, the bushing is disposed around the rod, the piston is made of aluminum; the adjustor further includes an O-ring engaged in the cylinder, the O-ring is disposed around the rod and abutted against the bushing, and the O-ring includes an annular groove open in a direction toward the bushing; the piston includes at least one annular recess, at least one O-ring is received in the at least one annular recess, the at least one O-ring is annularly abutted against an inner wall of the chamber, and the at least one O-ring includes an annular groove open in a direction away from the blocking member; a tubular receiver is disposed through the blocking member, screwed to the cylinder and disposed around the rod, an elastic member is axially abutted against and between the tubular receiver and the blocking member, and the elastic member is a wave spring; the tubular receiver includes an annular flange received in the blocking member, the elastic member is axially abutted against and between the annular flange and the blocking member, and the annular flange includes at least one through hole disposed therethrough axially; the cylinder further includes a tubular portion extending toward the piston and disposed around the rod, and the tubular portion and the inner wall of the chamber define an annular space therebetween; a threaded member is disposed radially through the piston and inserted in the rod; a center of gravity of the adjustor is located between a geometric center of the piston and the blocking member.

6. An adjustor for a secondary pump of a brake, including:

a main body, being integrally formed of one piece, including a cylinder and a handle connected to the cylinder, the cylinder having a chamber thereinside, the handle having a passage in communication with the chamber;

a piston, movably received in the chamber;

a blocking member, connected to the cylinder; and

a rod, connected to the piston and extending through the cylinder;

wherein a tubular receiver is disposed through the blocking member, connected to the cylinder and disposed around the rod, and an elastic member is axially abutted against and between the tubular receiver and the blocking member.

7. The adjustor of claim 6 , wherein the tubular receiver includes an annular flange received in the blocking member, the elastic member is axially abutted against and between the annular flange and the blocking member, and the annular flange includes at least one through hole disposed therethrough axially.

8. An adjustor for a secondary pump of a brake, including:

a main body, being integrally formed of one piece, including a cylinder and a handle connected to the cylinder, the cylinder having a chamber thereinside, the handle having a passage in communication with the chamber;

a piston, movably received in the chamber;

a blocking member, connected to the cylinder; and

a rod, connected to the piston and extending through the cylinder;

wherein the blocking member includes a barrel disposed around the rod and a board connected to the barrel and extending radially, and the barrel is offset relative to the board and partially protrusive beyond the board;

wherein a push plate is disposed on an end of the rod, the barrel includes a stepped recess, and the push plate is retractable within the stepped recess.
