Abstract
A radial expanding braking device for use with a motor vehicle. The braking device including a drum, a plurality of carrying elements and a lifting mechanism configured to selectively move the plurality of carrying elements into contact with the drum.
Claims20
A braking device, for use with a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a drum having an inner surface;
- a lifting mechanism including a plurality of teeth;
- a plurality of carrying members operably coupled to the plurality of teeth and configured to extend outwardly from a center axis of the lifting mechanism, the plurality of carrying members each including a pad for selectively engaging at least a portion of the drum;
- a plurality of pins operably coupling the plurality of carrying members to the lifting mechanism;
- and
- at least one cylinder selectively engageable with the lifting mechanism, wherein engagement of the at least one cylinder extends the plurality of carrying members outward from the center axis.
3 more elements
A braking device, for use with a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a drum having an inner surface;
- a lifting mechanism including a first tooth, a second tooth, and a third tooth;
- at least three carrying members each operably coupled to one of the first tooth, the second tooth, and the third tooth, each carrying member configured to extend outwardly from a center axis of the lifting mechanism selectively engaging at least a portion of the drum;
- and
- at least one cylinder selectively engageable with the lifting mechanism, wherein engagement of the at least one cylinder extends the three carrying members outward from the center axis.
2 more elements
A braking device to apply a braking force, for use with a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a lifting mechanism including at least one tooth;
- at least one carrying member operably coupled to the at least one tooth and configured to extend outwardly from a center axis of the lifting mechanism to apply the braking force;
- and
- an actuator selectively engageable with the lifting mechanism, wherein engagement of the actuator extends the at least one carrying member outward from the center axis.
