Abstract

A device for the quick assembly and disassembly of an input rod (1) for operating a brake system and a brake pedal. A clasp (3) is secured to the input rod (1) connecting a spindle (4) fixed to the brake pedal. The clasp (3) has a guide yoke (31) which receives a retaining yoke (32) and blocking members (51,61) which maintain the retaining yoke (32) in a closed configuration with respect to the guide yoke (31). The blocking member comprise at least one lug (51) borne by the retaining yoke (32) which projects toward the guide yoke (31) and opening (61) in the guide yoke (31) which receives the lug (51) with the clasp (3) in moved to a closed configuration. On movement of the clasp (3) toward a closed configuration, parallel cheeks (325,326) of retaining yoke (31) which are squeezed together elastically expand when lug (51) enters opening (61) to lock the clasp (3) in the closed configuration.
