BRAKE DEVICE FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18748181 titled 'BRAKE DEVICE FOR VEHICLE
The abstract of this patent application describes a brake device that includes a brake pedal, a housing, a reaction force generator, a deformation member, and a stroke sensor. The brake pedal operates by rotating a lever about a rotation axis, which in turn generates a reaction force from the reaction force generator based on the stroke amount of the pedal. The deformation member is deformed by the force received from the lever when the brake pedal is operated, and the stroke sensor detects the stroke amount and abnormal operation of the brake pedal.
