Abstract

An actuator device for use in a braking system for vehicles that are manually steered by handlebars with a control assembly for the vehicle which is cable actuated. The cable has a proximal cable end operatively connected to the control or braking assembly and a distal cable end remote from the braking assembly. Advancement of the cable in a forward direction activates the braking assembly and advancement of the cable in a reverse direction releases the braking assembly. The actuator device has a base member which is mountable on the handlebars, and rotatable drive member which is rotatably mounted by the base member for rotation about a rotational axis that is coaxial with the linear outer arm portion of the handlebar, and to this end, the rotatable drive member telescopically and slideably receives the linear outer arm end portion of handlebar. The rotatable drive member is interconnected to the distal cable end such that rotation of the drive member in a first angular direction advances the cable in a forward direction and rotation of the drive member in a second angular direction advances the cable in reverse direction. An egonomically shaped wing, lever member is attached to the drive member and projections radially outwardly from the rotatable drive so a mechanical advantage is maintained while applying a torque force to the drive member which in turn acts on distal end of the cable.
