US 10,766,734 B2 · Full frame brake for coiling machinery

Abstract

The frame brake assembly includes a sleeve, a piston, a brake, and a retracting device. The piston translates within the sleeve between an upper first position and a lower second position. A brake is coupled to a lower portion of the piston beneath the sleeve. As the piston moves between positions, the brake moves in a corresponding manner. In the second position, the brake is lowered into contact with the ground. The retracting device is used to automatically return the piston and brake to the first position. When installed on the coiling machine, the frame brake assembly is coupled to the frame of the coiling machine and is in selective engagement with a pair of spool arms. Rotation of the spool arms induces translation from the first position to the second position in the frame brake assembly.
