Patent ID: 8393440

Claim:
A brake device, comprising: a brake caliper having a brake caliper housing; an energy accumulator supported at a first end on the brake caliper housing and at a second end on an abutment within the brake caliper housing via a first lever arm pivotally connected to the second end of the energy accumulator; and a second lever arm implemented via the abutment, wherein the second lever arm via the abutment implements a mechanism for exchange of spring-elastic forces between the energy accumulator embodied as one spring element and the brake caliper embodied as another spring element, wherein the first and second lever arms variably assume at least two different angular positions relative to one another in relation to the abutment; an articulation point at the first end of the energy accumulator on the brake caliper is variable, the articulation point at the first end of the energy accumulator is arranged to be laterally displaceable on the brake caliper housing into a parking brake position via at least one of retracting an adjustable bolt counter to a return spring force and the reaction force of the accumulator spring, and the articulation point at the first end of the energy accumulator is arranged to be laterally displaceable on the brake caliper housing into a service brake position via at least one of the reaction force of the accumulator spring and inserting the adjustable bolt via a brake actuator.
