ABSTRACT:
A brake compensator for a vehicle using a resilient device or resilient elastomeric material which is connected to the cable or the cable sheath of a cable-controlled brake, and is extended or compressed in response to a force applied thereon when a brake is applied. In one embodiment, the resilient device is disposed between the sheath and the frame of a vehicle, and is arranged so that the control cable passes directly through the compensator and to a brake caliper. In a further embodiment, the brake compensator may be disposed between the sections of sheath around a continuous brake cable. This arrangement avoids the need for an assembly to mount the compensator to the vehicle frame. Apparatus is shown for pre-loading the resilient device and thereby advantageously adjusting for different product and rider characteristics. Additionally, structure may be provided for limiting the maximum compression, beyond which the cable and sheath operate in a conventional manner.
