Abstract: A braking system in a vehicle comprises a front brake device disposed on first lateral side, a rear brake device, and an integrated brake actuating means disposed on second lateral side of vehicle. Brake actuating means is operatively coupled with rear brake device. Braking system comprises an interlink member pivotally mounted to front body portion of vehicle for coupling brake actuating means with front brake device. Interlink member comprises first arm, and second arm coupled with first arm. First arm is operatively coupled with brake ·actuating meahs on first lateral side and second arm is coupled with front brake device frontwardly of a head tube in width direction of vehicle. On actuating the actuating means, front brake device and rear brake device are actuated, where front brake device is actuated due to movement of first arm and second arm about a pivot point of interlink member on front body portion.

Specification

FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY [0001] The present invention relates to braking system for vehicle. BACKGROUND [0002] Conventionally, m vehicles such as two-wheeled vehicles, braking operation of a front wheel is actuated by application of force on a front wheel brake actuating means. The front wheel brake actuating means is generally provided on a handlebar of the two-wheeled vehicle (hereinafter interchangeably referred to as 'vehicle'). Further, braking operation of a rear wheel is actuated by application of force on a rear wheel brake actuating means of the vehicle. The rear wheel brake actuating means is· provided either on the handlebar or is provided in form of a foot pedal. The operation of front and rear wheel braking is normally controlled, by the operator, independently. [0003] For safe braking of front and rear wheels of the vehicle, the balanced actuation of front and rear wheel brakes is necessary. If only the front wheel brake is applied, the rear wheel keeps rolling and the vehicle has the risk of being toppled. If only the rear wheel brake is applied, the front wheel keeps rolling and the vehicle has the risk of skidding. [0004] Generally, in a combined braking system, where the front and rear wheel brake devices are operated simultaneously, the front and rear wheel brake devices are actuated by an integrated brake actuating means such as a brake pedal. By using the integrated brake actuating means, the braking force is transferred from the brake pedal to the front brake device and the rear brake device using a front brake connecting means (e.g., a brake cable) and a rear brake connecting means (e.g., a brake rod). The brake pedal is adapted to actuate the front and rear brake devices upon actuation of the brake pedal by the user. One end of each of the front and rear brake connecting means is connected to the brake pedal and the other end is connected to the respective front brake device or the rear brake device. Typically, the brake pedal is provided on one side for example right side of the vehicle, and the front brake device is provided on opposite side 2 IPO DELHI 18-&4-2616 17:3& for example. left side of the vehicle. Therefore, the front brake connecting means is required to be routed from the right side of the vehicle to the left side of the vehicle, resulting into transmission loss of the braking force. SUMMARY [0005] In an embodiment, a braking system in a vehicle is disclosed. The braking system comprises a front brake device disposed on a first lateral side of the vehicle, a rear brake device, and an integrated brake actuating means disposed on a second lateral side of the vehicle. The second lateral side is opposite of the first lateral side. The integrated brake actuating means is operatively coupled with the rear brake device. The braking system also corp.prises an interlink member pivotally mounted to a front body portion of the vehicle for operatively coupling the integrated brake actuating means with the front brake device. The interlink member comprises a first arm, and a second arm coupled with the first arm. The first arm is operatively coupled with the integrated brake actuating means on the first lateral side of the vehicle and the second arm is coupled with the front brake device frontwardly of a head tube of the vehicle and in a width direction of the vehicle. Upon actuation of the integrated brake actuating means, each of the front brake device and the rear brake device is actuated, wherein the front brake device is actuated due to a movement of the first arm and the second arm about a pivot point of the interlink member on the front body portion. [0006] In an embodiment, the front body portion is a body frame of the vehicle. The braking system further comprises a holder fixedly mounted to the body frame, and wherein the interlink member is pivotally mounted to the holder around the pivot point. In another embodiment, the front body portimi is the head tube and the braking system further comprises a holder fixedly mounted to the head tube, and wherein the interlink member is pivotally mounted to the holder. . [0007] In an embodiment, the braking system further comprises a first connecting means for connecting the first arm to the integrated brake actuating means, and a second connecting means for connecting the second arm to the front brake device. 3 IPO DELHI 18-04-2016 17:36 [0008] In an embodiment, the first arm comprises a first hole configured on a first plane of the first arm on the first lateral side. The first connecting means is connected to the first arm through the first hole. The second arm comprises a second hole on a second plane of the second arm in the width direction and in the second lateral side of the vehicle, where the second plane is substantially perpendicular to the first plane. The second connecting means is connected to the second arm through the second hole. Further, when the integrated brake actuating means is actuated, the first hole of the first arm rotates about the pivot point in a rearward direction of the vehicle such that a pulling force is applied on the second arm and the second hole muves in a gubstnntially vertical direction thereby applying the front brake device. [0009] In an embodiment, a location of the second hole is vertically below a location of the first hole. In an embodiment, the braking system further comprises a third connecting means for connecting the integrated brake actuating means to the rear brake device. [0010) In an embodiment, the braking system compt:ises a front brake lever, and a fourth connecting means for connecting the front brake lever to the front brake device. [0011] In an embodiment, the second arm comprises a third hole configured in the width direction. The braking system further comprises a front brake lever, and a fourth connecting means· for connecting the front brake lever to the second arm through the third hole. [0012] In an embodiment, the.first arm and the second arm form a substantially 'L' shaped structure. [0013) In an embodiment, the interlink member is biased with a biasing force applied by a biasing spring for rotationally urging the interlink member against a load acting on the interlink member from the integrated brake actuating means or a front brake lever. [0014] In an embodiment, the first lateral side lies on a first side from a longitudinal axis of the vehicle and the second lateral side lies on a second side from the longitudinal axis, where the longitudinal axis passes through a centre of the vehicle. 4 IPO DELHI 18-04-2B16 17 3& BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0015] The invention itself, together with further features and attended advantages, will become apparent from consideration of the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. One or more embodiments of the present invention are now described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawing wherein like reference numerals represent like elements and in which: [0016] Figure 1 illustrates a schematic view of a body frame of a vehicle (e.g., a two-wheeled vehicle) including layout of a braking system, according to an embodiment of the present invention; [0017] Figure 2 illustrates an interlink member of the braking system, according to an embodiment of the present invention; [0018] Figure 3 schematically illustrates operation of the interlink member, according to an embodiment of the present invention; [0019) Figure 4 illustrates the interlink member of the braking system, according to another embodiment of the present invention; and [0020] Figure 5 illustrates the interlink member, according to yet another embodiment of the present invention. [0021) The drawings referred to in this description are not to be understood as being drawn to scale except if specifically noted, and such drawings are only exemplary in nature.
