Abstract
An apparatus includes a housing structure and a magnetic assembly. The magnetic assembly is configured to slide within the housing structure in a first direction associated with a direction of travel of the housing structure and in a second direction that is opposite of the first direction. The magnetic assembly includes a first pole plate having a first polarity and a second pole plate having a second polarity that is opposite of the first polarity.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a housing structure, wherein the housing structure includes a wall and a bumper coupled to the wall, and wherein the bumper is positioned between the wall and a magnetic assembly;
- and
- the magnetic assembly, wherein the magnetic assembly is configured to slide within the housing structure in a first direction associated with a direction of travel of the housing structure and in a second direction that is opposite of the first direction, the magnetic assembly comprising:
- a first pole plate having a first polarity;
- and
- a second pole plate having a second polarity that is opposite of the first polarity.

An apparatus comprising:
- a housing structure, wherein the housing structure includes a wall, and wherein the wall includes a plate opening configured to receive a safety plate;
- and
- a magnetic assembly, wherein the magnetic assembly is configured to slide within the housing structure in a first direction associated with a direction of travel of the housing structure and in a second direction that is opposite of the first direction, the magnetic assembly comprising:
- a first pole plate having a first polarity;
- and
- a second pole plate having a second polarity that is opposite of the first polarity.
3 more elements
A method comprising:
- at a brake device including a housing structure and a magnetic assembly coupled to the housing structure, the magnetic assembly configured to move relative to the housing structure in a first direction and in a second direction within the housing structure, wherein the housing structure includes a wall and a bumper coupled to the wall, wherein the bumper is positioned between the wall and a magnetic assembly, and wherein the magnetic assembly includes a first pole plate having a first polarity and a second pole plate having a second polarity that is opposite of the first polarity, performing:
- moving the housing structure in the first direction that is the same as a direction of travel of the brake device;
- applying, by the magnetic assembly to the housing structure, a first force that is applied in an opposite direction of the direction of travel;
- and
- moving the magnetic assembly in the first direction responsive to a second force applied by the housing structure in the direction of travel.
2 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a housing structure including a slot;
- a magnetic assembly slidably disposed within the slot, the slot configured to guide movement of the magnetic assembly in the housing structure, wherein the magnetic assembly is configured to slide in a first direction associated with a direction of travel of the housing structure and in a second direction that is opposite of the first direction, the magnetic assembly comprising:
- a first pole plate having a first polarity;
- and
- a second pole plate having a second polarity that is opposite of the first polarity;
- and
- a bumper coupled to a wall of the housing structure and positioned between the wall and the magnetic assembly.
