A parking brake assembly for a vehicle has a mounting bracket, a handle assembly and a clutching mechanism. The mounting bracket has a stop. The handle assembly is pivotally mounted on the mounting bracket for rotation about a first axis. The handle is moveable between a brake applied position and a brake release position. The handle has an actuator. A cam is pivotally mounted on the handle about a second axis offset from the first axis. The cam has a cam surface which varies radially from the second axis. The cam is biased to engage the stop. A clutch spring frictionally engages the cam and is operably connected to the actuator. Movement of the actuator in response to manual manipulation responsively moves the clutch spring to decrease the frictional engagement, thereby enabling the cam to engage with the stop. In response to releasing the actuator, the clutch spring moves to increase frictional engagement with the cam thereby retaining the cam in a position to engage the stop and prop the handle in a braking position.
Frein de stationnement pour véhicule muni d'un support de fixation, d'une poignée et d'un mécanisme d'embrayage. Le support de fixation est muni d'un dispositif d'arrêt. La poignée est installée de manière pivotante sur le support de fixation afin que puisse s'opérer une rotation autour d'un premier axe. La poignée peut être déplacée entre la position où les freins sont appliqués et la position où les freins sont relâchés. La poignée est munie d'un vérin. Une came est fixée de façon rotative sur la poignée selon un deuxième axe en retrait du premier. La came présente une surface qui varie de façon radiale par rapport au deuxième axe. La came est inclinée de manière à engager le dispositif d'arrêt. Le ressort d'embrayage engage la came par friction et est relié de façon fonctionnelle au vérin. Le mouvement du vérin en réponse au déplacement manuel fait déplacer de manière réceptive le ressort d'embrayage de façon à réduire l'engagement par friction, permettant ainsi à la came d'être engagée avec le dispositif d'arrêt. Si le vérin est relâché, le ressort d'embrayage se déplace de manière à accroître l'engagement par friction avec la came, retenant celle-ci dans une position permettant d'engager l'arrêt et de replacer la poignée en position de freinage.
