Abstract:

A golf car having a hydraulic fluid brake system. The hydraulic fluid brake system is implemented as a disk brake system which is responsive to hydraulic fluid pressure generated from a master cylinder. A brake pedal and associated linkage provides input to a master cylinder to generate a hydraulic fluid pressure to control a brake caliper assembly. The brake pedal has a range of travel, where a first portion of the range defines a service mode of operation and a second portion of the range defines a parking mode of operation. In the parking mode of operation, the brake pedal and linkage engages a detent to maintain application of the brake to provide a parking mode of operation. An accumulator in the brake system provides an input force to maintain hydraulic fluid pressure sufficient to retain a parking mode of operation.

International Classification:

F16D 65/00

US Classification:

188073100

Abstract:

A golf car having a hydraulic disk brake system responsive to hydraulic fluid pressure generated from a master cylinder. A brake pedal and associated linkage provides input to a master cylinder to generate a hydraulic fluid pressure to control a brake caliper assembly. A flexible brake line is fluidly coupled between the brake pedal and the disk brake system for carrying the hydraulic fluid. The brake line is comprised of a flexible inner member and a braided outer member. The brake pedal has a range of travel, where a first portion of the range defines a service mode of operation and a second portion of the range defines a parking mode of operation. In the parking mode of operation, the brake pedal and linkage engages a detent to maintain application of the brake to provide a parking mode of operation.

Assignee:

Club Car - Augusta GA

International Classification:

F16H 1106

US Classification:

474 14

Abstract:

A continuously variable power transmission including a driving pulley and a driven pulley that each include a fixed face and a movable face, the movable face being movable in a direction toward and away from the fixed face to vary the effective driving radius of the respective pulleys and thereby vary the drive ratio. The movable face of the driving pulley is actuated by a centrifugal weight assembly including a primary weight and a secondary weight each mounted on a common pivot axis. The primary and secondary weights are adapted to rotate together during a low speed range of operation of the driving pulley and the primary weight operates alone have a predetermined driving pulley speed, in order to permit rapid response to increased torque requirements at high driving pulley speeds. The driving pulley includes a rolling contact bearing between the fixed and movable faces to prevent relative sliding movement between the drive belt and the drive shaft, to eliminate belt squealing when the driven pulley is rotating and the drive pulley is at rest, as for example during downhill coasting of a vehicle having a belt drive power transmission.

Inventors:

Terry L. Reese - Appling GA

Assignee:

Club Car, Inc. - Augusta GA

International Classification:

B60K 900

US Classification:

180 61

Abstract:

An engine-drive train subassembly for a golf cart has a generally triangular engine mounting subframe with the engine cantilevered about the rear axles and with a single position front engine mount at the apex of the triangle mounted to permit the rear axles to rotate relative to the cart body, thereby permitting the cart to travel over rough terrain without tilting the cart body. A rubberlike flexible grommet surrounds a pivotable front mount member. This grommet simply rests on a cart frame member in a boltless coupling, and thereby permits movement of the engine frame when the flexible grommet is elastically distorted including a pivoting action caused when one of the rear wheels enters a rut, etc. The rear engine mount is coupled to the cart frame by a pair of springs mounted to the axles adjacent the rear drive wheels. The engine is cantilevered about the rear axles and partly extends therebelow for a low center of gravity.
