Abstract:
A module for a braking system includes a movable housing configured to transfer a braking force from an input shaft to an output shaft, a first movable member slidably received within the housing and connected to the output shaft, a second movable member slidably received within the housing, a first resilient member biased between the first movable member and the second movable member, such that a force applied to the second movable member is applied to the first movable member via the first resilient member, and a second resilient member biased between the second movable member and the housing, such that a force applied to the housing is applied to the second movable member via the second resilient member. The first resilient member yields or compresses upon application of a first braking force to the input shaft, and the second resilient member yields or compresses after the first resilient member.

Claim (Index 15):
A method of controlling a braking force using a module as claimed in  claim 1 , the method comprising:\n applying a first braking force to the input shaft, wherein the first braking force is sufficient to cause the first resilient member to yield or compress, but insufficient to cause the second resilient member to yield or compress; and applying a second braking force to the input shaft, wherein the second braking force is higher than the first braking force and is sufficient to cause both the first resilient member and the second resilient member to yield or compress.
