Zusammenfassung:BRAKING FORCE FEEDBACK DEVICE FOR CALIPER TYPE BRAKES A caliper disc braking force feedback device is disclosed which utilizes a unique pivotal mounting for the disc brake in combination with a force sensing unit which creates a hydraulic pressure signal in proportion to the braking force. The hydraulic pressure signal is applied to a conventional brake cylinder which, in turn, is operatively connected to the control handle for applying the brake. This, in combination with a unique proportional mounting for a control valve, results in improved operator feedback resulting from proportional control in the operating lever and a "solid bottom" feel when the brake fully stops the device.
