Estimating the term…
A disc brake arrangement, especially for heavy duty applications in which a pair of brake arms having brake members on the sides facing each other are pivotally supported at one end and spring biased toward each other at the other end. The brake members are adapted to receive the periphery of a brake disc therebetween. A disengaging device is provided which includes a lever pivoted to the free ends of the arms and having a wedge shaped nose which will press the arms apart when the lever is pivoted in one direction and which will cam out between the arms when the lever is released. The brake members are adjustably mounted on the respective arms and each brake member support includes an adjustment, with each adjustment being provided with a free wheeling one way clutch device. A lost motion linkage connects each free wheeling device with the disengaging lever for actuation of the pertaining adjustment in a direction to move the brake members toward each other whenever the movement of the lever between brake disengaging and brake engaged positions exceeds a predetermined amount.
A disc brake having a pair of arms pivotally supported at one end and adapted to receive the periphery of a brake disc therebetween, means biasing the free ends of said arms toward each other, brake elements on the sides of the arms which face each other, adjustable means connecting said brake elements to said arms for adjustment of brake elements toward each other, a disengaging device including a lever pivotally connected to the free ends of the arms having a nose thereon operable when the lever is pivoted in one direction to press said arms apart, said nose camming out from between said arms when the lever is released, an actuator pivoted on said lever and when moved in one direction abutting said lever and moving said lever in said one direction, a free wheeling one way clutch device connected to each adjustable means, and a link forming a lost motion connection between each free wheeling device and the axis of pivotal connection of said actuator to said lever.
