"MOUNTING SCHEME OF BRAKE HOSE AND SENSOR CABLE"
NAME AND ADDRESS OF THE APPLICANT:
TATA MOTORS LIMITED, an Indian company having its registered office at Bombay
house, 24 Horm' Mody Street, Hutatma Chowk, Mumbai 400 001. Maharashtra, INDIA.
Nationality: Indian
The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed.

TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention generally relates to brake systems used in vehicles and more particularly relates to a mounting scheme of speed sensor cable and brake hose in a front suspension module.
BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE
Brake system for a vehicle is provided to retard or to stop the vehicle. Main parts of the brake system include a brake disc, a caliiper, a brake, a pedal brake tubes and hoses. While application of the brake pedal, the brake fluid through reservoir needs to be sent to calliper for actuation of brake pads to come in contact with the brake disc and stop the vehicle. The brake tube and brake hose acts as means for carrying the brake fluid to the calliper while application of the brake pedal. And in case of vehicles enabled with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). wheel speed sensor cables are required to get the feedback from sensors and transfer to the ABS ECU (Electronic Control Unit) unit.
Typically, the mounting scheme for the sensor cable as well as brake hose consists of brackets mounted on suspension member such as strut, stub axle as well on the wheel arch. Conventionally, due to the calliper location and wheel speed sensor position, front module layout creates complexity in sensor as well as the brake hose routing or the mounting scheme. And some times special bend tubes are integrated with the brake hose to achieve desired routing. Complexity for suspension strut also increases due to number of brake hose or sensor brackets at different locations. Wheel speed sensor location and orientation on the stub axle also increases complexity. Separate anti-rotation features are provided sometimes for the brake hose mounting brackets.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
The objective of invention is to provide a simple, easy to manufacture and cost effective mounting scheme for a wheel speed sensor cable and a brake hose on integrated bracket assembled on strut.

Another object of the invention is to provide a mounting scheme which precludes the need of separate provisions for hose mounting centre fitting for anti-rotation.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide an integrated bracket member for wheel speed sensor cable and brake hose, mounted on vertical centre plane of strut, crossing wheel centre.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide a mounting scheme for wheel speed sensor cable and brake hose that enables communication of front LH and RH strut.
Further objects and features of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description when considered in conjunction with the drawings.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Referring now to the drawings wherein the showings are for the purpose of illustrating a preferred embodiment of the invention only, and not for the purpose of limiting the same.
It is to be noted at this point that all of the above described components, whether alone or in any combination, are claimed as being essential to the disclosure, in particular the details depicted in the drawings and reference numerals in the drawings are as given below.
A mounting scheme 100, in accordance with the present invention, is illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 6. The mounting scheme 100 may be employed in conjunction with a front suspension module of a vehicle (not shown). The mounting scheme 100 may be utilized on both, left side and right side, front suspension module. For the purpose of brevity of the description, the mounting scheme 100 herein will be explained for one side only.
The mounting scheme ] 00 includes a brake hose 3 and a sensor cable 1. The brake hose 3 includes a first end 3a (also referred to as first end portion 3a), a second end portion 3c (also referred to as first end portion 3a), and an intermediate portion 3b joining the first end portion 3a and the first end portion 3a. The first end 3a of the brake hose 3 is connected to a Caliper 8. As would be apparent to those skilled in the art, a portion of a

brake disc 6 located between pads of the Caliper 8. The second end portion 3b of the brake hose 3 is connected to wheel arch 10 through a bracket 7. best shown the view of the mounting scheme of FIG. 5. The intermediate portion 3b has metallic mid crimping.
Likewise, the sensor cable 1 (also referred to as "speed sensor cable 1") includes a first end portion la, a second end portion and an intermediate potion. The first end portion1a of the sensor cable 1 is mounted on a stub axle 5 with screw 11. The first end portion la of the sensor cable 1 includes a sensor which senses tonner ring 12 rotation and provides wheel speed signal to ABS ECU through the sensor cable 1. The second end portion of the sensor cable 1 is also mounted on the wheel arch 10 with help of rubber grommet lc, as shown in FIG 5.
Referring again to various figures, particularly FIG. 6B, the mounting scheme 100 includes a mounting bracket 2. The mounting bracket 2 is carried by a strut 4. The mounting bracket 2 includes a cylindrical body member 14 and a mounting member 15. The cylindrical body member 14 configured to be disposed over the strut 4 of the vehicle. In an embodiment of the present invention the cylindrical body member 14 of the mounting bracket 2 is welded on the strut 4. Again, as best shown in FIG. 6B. the mounting member 15 extends outwardly from a peripheral surface of the cylindrical body member 14. The mounting member 15 of the mounting bracket 2 includes a pair of identical semicircular slots 2b (also referred to as a first semicircular slot and a second semicircular slot) and a third semicircular slot 2a. One of the pair of identical semicircular slots 2b is utilized for the sensor cable rubber grommet lb assembly. The mounting member 15 embodies a configuration which is symmetrical about an imaginary axis shown in FIG. 4, such that the pair of identical semicircular slots 2b is identical. The intermediate portion of the brake hose 3b and the intermediate portion of the speed sensor cable engage with the mounting bracket 2 and pass therethrough. A weld nut 2c is assembly provision provided for hose mid crimping 3b.
Particularly, the third semicircular slot 2a is configured to engage with the brake hose 3b whereby a relation movement therebetween is precluded. As the edges of the semicircular slot 2a, its acts as an anti-rotation feature for brake hose mid crimping 3b. As best shown

in FIG 6A, a sensor cable slot 5a on stub axle is oriented at 45 degree in second quadrant, hole 5b is given to pass sensor 1a and tapping 5c is utilized for fastening of sensor on stub axle.
The foregoing description provides specific embodiments of the present invention. It should be appreciated that these embodiment are described for purpose of illustration only, and that numerous other alterations and modifications may be practiced by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. It is intended that all such modifications and alterations be included insofar as they come within the scope of the invention as claimed or the equivalents thereof.
