Patent ID: 8911027

Claim:
A braking device comprising dissipative braking means having a hydraulic control circuit, regenerative electric braking means, and at least a first actuating device which is displaced selectively from an inactive position against a first elastic force exerted by at least a first restoring element in order to activate the hydraulic control circuit of the dissipative braking means, a second actuating device, a second restoring element, and a position sensor, wherein the second actuating device is displaced selectively from an inactive position against a second elastic force exerted by the second restoring element in order to activate the electric braking means, wherein the inactive positions of the first and second actuating devices are separated by a non-zero distance, wherein said first and second actuating devices have respective displacement trajectories such that the second actuating device mechanically drives the first actuating device after having reached a driving position separated from its inactive position by said non-zero distance, wherein the second restoring force is smaller than the first restoring force, wherein the position sensor supplies an output signal which is used to activate the electric braking means and which varies as a function of the position of the second actuating device between its inactive position and its driving position, wherein the first actuating device comprises a first pedal including a first lever pivoted to a support and a first pressure shoe fixed to this first lever, wherein the second actuating device comprises a second pedal including a second lever and a second pressure shoe fixed to this second lever, wherein the second lever is pivoted to the first lever, and wherein the second shoe covers the first shoe at least in the driving position of the second actuating device.
