Title: Sliding caliper disc brake
Inventor: PAUL ROBERTS
IPC: F16D55/227
Filed: 2016-11-16
Abstract: A sliding caliper disc brake with a brake caliper 10 which slides relative to a brake carrier on guide bearings. The guide bearings each have a guide bush 14 fitted within a bore 12 and a guide pin which slides against the internal surface of the bush. One of the guide bearings is a fixed bearing which only allows axial sliding of the pin, the other is a loose bearing which allows some additional movement. A recess 18 is provided in the bore for the loose bearing, and is covered by the respective guide bush. The wall of the bush is deformed into the recess to prevent any axial or rotational movement. An alignment formation 20 may be provided on the bush to visually align with the recess. This formation may be a notch wider than the recess to allow the whole width of the recess to be visible through the notch. A shoulder 16 may be provided in the bore to provide a stop for the bush. The guide bush may be deformed by pushing or piercing the wall. Also disclosed is a method of installing a guide bush within a bore of a sliding caliper disc brake.

Title: Displacement sensing
Inventor: PETER SLEEMAN
IPC: H03K17/975
Filed: 2017-09-06
Abstract: A sensing apparatus comprises a frame 2, a moveable displacement element 3 and a touch sensor 18. Capacitance measurement circuitry provides a displacement output signal indicative of a separation between a frame element 2 and a displacement element 3, and measurement circuitry provides a touch sensor output when an object is touching the displacement element. A processing element outputs a displacement detection signal if an object is touching the displacement element and a difference between the displacement sensor output signal and a baseline exceeds a threshold. The baseline is determined from the displacement sensor output signal in a time period determined from when the touch sensor output signal initially indicates the object is touching the displacement element. The baseline may be displacement sensor output signal when the touch sensor initially indicates that an object is touching, or an average of values in the time period. The capacitive measurement may use a reference electrode 12 and a deformable electrode 5 e.g. conductive foam. The touch sensor may be capacitive.

Title: Improvements relating to vehicle safety devices
Inventor: DAVID SMITH
IPC: G05D1/00
Filed: 2019-07-24
Abstract: A vehicle safety braking device for a user other than the driver to emergency stop the vehicle (e.g. truck or lorry, when the driver is incapacitated by illness), and a method of preventing braking by mistake by: after activation of the device by non-driver user input, detecting the absence of the input and therefore disengaging the emergency braking. An activation module (102; fig. 2) receives an activating input from the user (e.g. manual button/lever press by passenger) 406 and sends an activating signal to a control module (101; fig. 2), but ceases sending the signal when the input is stopped (e.g. lever released/ stopped pressing button 410). The control module causes braking while it continually receives the signal but stops when the signal ceases. The signal may vary in strength according to the user input and may cause a pulsed braking operation. The brake may be a parking brake (e.g. air brake). There may be a driver override 411. If the vehicle speed is below a threshold speed (e.g. 6kph, 10kph) 409 the control may fully apply the brakes and not stop applying the brakes even when the signal stops.
