Description

2359867
TITLE: SCOOTER BRAKE STRUCTURE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION: (a) Field of the Invention:
The present invention relates to a scooter brake structure, and more particularly to a brake structure for mounting on a rear wheel of a scooter to effectively brake movement of the scooter.
(b) Description of the Prior Art:
Existing brake structures for scooters are generally hand brakes installed at the handlebars of the scooters and rely on steel cables to pull a brake lining to thereby brake the scooter. Besides the fact that the flexible steel cable may cause some delay, the braking force thereof is not sufficient. After being braked, the scooter oftentimes will still glide forwardly a certain distance before coming to a complete halt.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION:
is. A primary object of the present invention is to provide a scooter brake structure to overcome the problems of the prior art. According to the present invention, a scooter brake structure includes a linking-up frame, a brake lining, a packing block, a pivot, and a reset spring, and is adapted for use with a cart frame for mounting on a rear wheel. The linking-up frame has two ends connected to a pedal and a securing plate, respectively. Each of the side bars is centrally provided with a through hole. The securing plate is secured to the brake lining. The pedal is secured to the packing block. The reset spring has 1 two hooked ends and a securing section. The pivot passes through the reset spring and the through holes of the side bars of the linking-up frame to be pivotally connected to the cart frame. The hooked ends and the securing section of the reset spring are respectively retained on the cart frame to space the brake lining a certain distance apart from the rear wheel under normal conditions. When the block and the pedal are pressed downwardly, the brake lining abuts against the rear wheel to immediately brake the scooter.
2 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The foregoing and other -features and advantaws of the present invention will be more clearly understood from the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings, in which,
Fig. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the present invention; Fig. 2 is a side view of the present invention assembled to a cart frame; Fig. 3 is an assembled sectional view of the present invention; and Fig. 4 is a schematic view illustrating operation of the present invention.
3 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
With reference to Fig. 1 and 2, a brake structure according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a linking-up frame 1, a brake lining 2, a packing block 3, a pivot 4, and, a reset spring 5, and is adapted for use with a cart frame 6 for mounting on a rear wheel 7.
The linking-up frame 1 includes two side bars 11 having two ends respectively secured to a pedal 12 and a securing plate 13. The side bars 11 are centrally provided with a respective through hole 111. The pedal 12 is also provided with through holes 12 1.
The packing block 3 is provided with through holes 31 corresponding to the through holes 121 of the pedal 12, and is secured to the pedal 12 by means of bolts 32 and nuts 33.
The pivot 4 has a rear end provided with a threaded section 41 for threaded engagement with a nut 42.
The reset spring 5 has two hooked ends 51 and a securing section 52.
With reference to Figs. 2 and 3, the bolts 32 pass through the through holes 3 1, 121 to secure the packing block 3 to the pedal 12. The brake lining. 2 is directly secured on the securing plate 13. The pivot 4 passes through the reset spring 5 and the through holes 111 of the side bars 11 of the linking-up frame 1 to be pivotally mounted on the cart frame 6 such that the hooked ends 51 and the securing section 52 of the reset spring 5 are respectively retained on the cart frame 6 to space the brake lining 2 a certain distance apart from the rear wheel 4 7 under normal conditions.
In use, with reference to Fig. 4, when the pedal 12 is pressed downwardly (by directly pressing the block 3 and the pedal 12 with the foot), the brake lining 2 will immediately abut against the rear wheel 7 in an effective manner.
In summary, compared with the conventional hand-brake scooters, the present invention provides an effective braking effect.
Although the present invention has been illustrated and described with reference to the preferred embodiment thereof, it should be understood that it is in no way limited to the details of such embodiment but is capable of numerous 10 modifications within the scope of the appended claims.

Claims (1)

  1. WHAT IS CLAIMED IS:
    1. A scooter brake structure, comprising a linking-up frame, a brake lining, a packing block, a pivot, and a reset spring, and being adapted for use with a cart frame for mounting on a rear wheel, said linking-up fi-ame having two ends connected to a pedal and a securing plate, respectively, said side bars each being centrally provided with a through hole, said securing plate being secured to said brake lining, said pedal being secured to said packing block, said reset spring having two hooked ends and a securing section, said pivot passing through said reset spring and said through holes of said side bars of said linking-up frame to be pivotally connected to said cart frame, said hooked ends and said securing section of said reset spring being respectively retained on said cart frame to space said brake lining a certain distance apart from said rear wheel under normal conditions, said brake lining abutting against said rear wheel when said block and the pedal are pressed downwardly.
