Patent ID: 7748095

Claim:
A brake piston system for setting a brake piston in a brake caliper, said system comprising: a housing including a handle section and a main section being coupled to said handle section, said handle section being graspable by a person, said main section being positioned approximately perpendicular to said handle section; a backing plate being coupled to a front end of said housing, said backing plate being abutted against a front plate of the brake caliper; a ram assembly being mounted to said housing and extending through said backing plate, said ram assembly being abuttable against the brake piston of the brake caliper when said backing plate is abutted against the front plate, said ram assembly being actuated to push against the brake piston and force the brake piston into the brake caliper, said ram assembly including; a rod extending through said main section of said housing, said rod including a threaded section and a toothed section, said threaded section being threaded through said backing plate and said front end of said housing, said toothed section extending through a rear end of said housing; an abutment plate being pivotally coupled to a forward end of said rod, said abutment plate being abutted against the brake piston when said backing plate is abutted against the front plate of the brake caliper, said abutment plate being advanced away from said backing plate to force the brake piston into the brake caliper when said rod is rotated in a first direction, said abutment plate being retracted towards said backing plate when said rod is rotated in a second direction; and an actuation assembly being coupled to said housing, said actuation assembly being actuated to actuate said ram assembly to advance the brake piston into the brake caliper, said actuation assembly being coupled to said handle section of said housing, said actuation assembly including an advancing bar being slidably coupled to said housing, said advancing bar including a plurality of pawl teeth, said pawl teeth meshing with said toothed section of said rod to rotate said rod in the first direction when said advancing bar is slid towards said rod, said pawl teeth sliding over said toothed section when said advancing bar is slid away from said rod.
