[0004] Background of the Invention
[0005] A hand brake, also known as a parking brake, usually takes the form of a hand or foot-operated lever and is normally located on the center console but can sometimes be found between the driver’s seat and the door. The handbrake applies the rear disc pads or brake shoes via a cable and is used when the car is parked to stop it rolling forwards or backwards.
[0006] The Patent Publication No. US20050145444A1(referred herein as ‘444) titled “Park brake cable system including connector clip” discloses a park brake cable system that includes a brake actuation lever, a connector clip and a shear member. A brake assembly, a front cable strand having a first and second end, the first end is attached to the brake actuation lever, and the second end engages the shear member on the connector clip. Further, a rear cable strand having a first end and a second end, the first end attached to the second end of the connector clip and the second end attached to the rear brake assembly, and tensioner means are attached in a tension force transmitting relationship with the front cable strand and the rear cable strand. This braking system has variation of park brake/handbrake performance.

[0007] Various types of conventional brake systems are known in the prior art. Conventional brake systems do not provide substantial varying reactive force distribution to the front and rear wheels of the vehicle.
[0008] Hence, there exists a need for an efficient braking system for a vehicle.
Summary of the Invention
[0009] The present invention overcomes the drawback in the prior art and provides an efficient vehicle braking system.
[0010] In an embodiment of the invention, the braking system comprises an input line with a first end and a second end. The first end of the input line is connected to a handbrake of the vehicle.
[0011] In an embodiment, the system includes a first output line with a first end and a second end. The first end of the first output line is connected to a front/rear wheel of the vehicle. A second output line is connected to the first end and the second end. The first end of the second output line is connected to the front/rear wheel of the vehicle.
[0012] In an alternative embodiment, a reactive bracket has a top portion, a middle portion and a bottom portion and has one or more holes to mount cables thereby. The second end of the input line is connected to the bottom portion of the reactive bracket through the hole thereby. The second end of the first output line is connected to the top portion of the bracket and second end of the second output line is connected to the bottom portion of the reactive bracket.
[0013] The flexible reactive bracket is being configured to bend in one or more angles upon receiving the reactive force from the handbrake asserted by a user such that the first output line and the second output line receives substantial varying reactive forces according to the angle created between the first output line and the second output line.

[0014] Thus, the braking system operates rear wheel and front wheel of the vehicle according to the angle between the first output line, hence ensuring better safety. The concept can be used to all the types of vehicles. Further the implementation of the braking system is easy and less expensive.
[0015] The present invention enhances the overall safety of vehicle by providing an efficient braking system.

[0023] Detailed Description of the Invention
[0024] Reference will now be made in detail to the description of the present subject matter, one or more examples of which are shown in figures. Each example is provided to explain the subject matter and not a limitation. Various changes and modifications obvious to one skilled in the art to which the invention pertains are deemed to be within the spirit, scope and contemplation of the invention.
[0025] The present invention provides a braking system which comprises an input line, a first output line and a second output line. A reactive bracket has a top portion, a middle portion and a bottom portion. The flexible reactive bracket is being configured to bend in one or more angles upon receiving the reactive force from the handbrake asserted by a user such that the first output line and the second output line receive substantial varying reactive forces according to the angle created between the first output line and the second output line.
[0026] Fig. 1 (a) and Fig 1 (b) illustrate a vehicle system with a flexible reactive bracket, according to one embodiment of the invention. In an embodiment, the braking system includes an input line (101) which has a first end (101a) and a second end (101b). The first end (101a) of the input line (101) is connected to a handbrake of the vehicle. Generally, the handbrake is exerted by the user in the vehicle.
[0027] A first output line (102) is having a first end (102a) and a second end (102b). The first end (102a) of the first output line (102) is connected to a front wheel of the vehicle.
[0028] A second output line (103) has a first end (103a) and a second end (103b). The first end (103a) of the second output (103) is connected to a rear wheel of the vehicle.
[0029] Fig. 1 (c) illustrates a flexible reactive bracket, according to one embodiment of the invention. Referring to the Fig. 1 (c), a flexible reactive

bracket (104) has a top portion (104a), a middle portion (104b) and a bottom portion (104c). The second end (101b) of the input line (101) is connected to the bottom portion (104b) of the flexible reactive bracket (104). The second end (102b) of the first output line (102) is connected to the top portion (104a) of the flexible bracket (104). Further, the second end (103b) of the second output line (103) is connected to the bottom portion (104c) of the flexible reactive bracket (104).
[0030] The flexible reactive bracket (104) is configured to bend in one or more angles upon receiving the reactive force from the handbrake exerted by a user such that the first output line (102) and the second output line (103) receive substantial varying reactive force distribution according to the angle created between the first output line (102) and the second output line (103).
[0031] Fig. 2 (a) illustrates a flexible reactive bracket when the first output line and the second output line are separated at an angle of 30 degrees, according to one embodiment of the invention. In an embodiment, referring to the Fig. 2 (a), the angle between the first output line (102) and the second output line (103) is kept at angle 30 degrees, in other words, the first output line (102) receives higher braking reactive force distribution than the second output line (103).
[0032] Fig. 2 (b) illustrates a flexible reactive bracket when the first output line and the second output line are separated at an angle of 45 degrees, according to one embodiment of the invention. In an embodiment, referring to the Fig. 2 (a), the angle between the first output line (102) and the second output line (103) is kept at angle 45 degrees so that the first output line (102) receives higher braking reactive force distribution than the second output line (103).
[0033] Fig. 2 (c) illustrates a flexible reactive bracket when the first output line and the second output line separated at angle 60 degrees, according to one embodiment of the invention. In an embodiment, referring to the Fig. 2 (a), the angle between the first output line (102) and the second output line (103) is kept

at an angle of 45 degrees which leads to a higher braking reactive force distribution on the first output line (102).
[0034] Thus, the increase in angle between the first output line (102) and the second output line (103) leads to decrease in braking force distribution to the second output line (103).
[0035] In an alternative embodiment, the first output line (102) and the second output line (103) receive equal reactive braking force distribution when the first output line (102) and the second output line (103) is in a straight line.
[0036] Thus, the braking system operates rear wheel and front wheel of the vehicle according to the angle between the first output line (102) and (103), hence better safety is ensured. The concept can be used to all the types of vehicles. Further the implementation of the braking system is easy and less expensive.
[0001] The present invention enhances the overall safety of vehicle by providing efficient braking system. The present invention may be used in all cable applications.
[0037] Many features and advantages of the invention are apparent from the detailed specification, and thus, it is intended by the appended claims to cover all such features and advantages of the invention which fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and variations will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation illustrated and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
