Abstract
A roller brake comprising: (a) a roller shaft that supports one or more ends of the roller brake; (b) a roller tube extending over all or a portion of the roller shaft; (c) a magnet; (d) a conductor located opposite the magnet and the conductor being in communication with the roller shaft when the magnet is in communication with the roller tube and the conductor being in communication with the roller tube when the magnet is in communication with the roller shaft; and (e) an air gap separating the magnet and the conductor; and wherein the conductor includes one or more recesses that are an absence of material in the conductor.
Claims29
A roller brake comprising:
- a. a roller shaft that supports one or more ends of the roller brake;
- b. a roller tube extending over all or a portion of the roller shaft;
- c. a magnet;
- d. a conductor located opposite the magnet, wherein the conductor is in communication with one of the roller shaft and the roller tube, and wherein the magnet is in communication with the other of the roller shaft and the roller tube;
- and
- e. an air gap separating the magnet and the conductor;
- and
- wherein the conductor includes one or more recesses that are an absence of material in the conductor.
A method comprising:
- a. placing a planar conductor on a cutting surface;
- b. cutting one or more regions of the planar conductor to form one or more recesses that are an absence of material in the conductor;
- c. shaping the planar conductor so that a first end and a second end of the planar conductor are proximate to one another;
- d. connecting the first end and the second end together to form a conductor;
- and
- e. inserting the conductor into an assembly of a motor brake.
