20100288590 | Automatic brake adjuster for adjusting the slack between the brake lining and brake drum of a vehicular braking system - This invention relates to an improvement on Automatic Brake Adjuster with flexible reference point wherein one-way lock mechanism and clutch mechanism are integrated in one part and located on the worm shaft with the provision of isolating the one way lock mechanism and regulator worm gear wheel from heavy clutch spring load by a thrust sleeve arrangement for independent function. One-way lock mechanism is meant for sensing the excess lining clearance and adjusting the slack between the brake lining and brake drum whereas the clutch mechanism is to ignore the excess stroke of brake actuator due to elasticity in the foundation brake parts of a vehicular braking system. | 11-18-2010 |
20110259678 | AUTOMATIC SHOE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT APPARATUS - To provide the drum brake device enables the assembly of the strut assembly ( | 10-27-2011 |
188790540 | Actuated in conjunction with other braking element | 1 |
20090101455 | SELF-ADJUSTING TORSION LOCK PARKING BRAKE - A park brake includes a brake arm movable about a pivot. A release cable is associated with the brake arm for unlocking the brake arm relative to the pivot. A release mechanism is associated with the brake arm, and is positioned about the pivot. A self adjusting mechanism is associated with the brake arm and release cable. The self adjusting mechanism is positioned about the pivot. | 04-23-2009 |

20100122878 | Self-Setting Automatic Slack Adjuster With Increased Durability - An improved self-adjusting automatic slack adjuster for reducing slack in the brake of a vehicle, in which a one-way clutch assembly is arranged in the housing of the automatic slack adjuster housing such that a thin-wall region of the housing associated with the gear drive of the one-way clutch assembly is located outside of a load path through which brake applications forces are conveyed from a brake actuator to a brake cam shaft upon which the automatic slack adjuster is located. The new positioning of the one-way clutch assembly drive results in unexpectedly lower stress levels in the automatic slack adjuster, resulting a more durable slack adjuster and permitting surprisingly large increases in slack adjuster capacity rating. | 05-20-2010 |
20100122879 | Automatic Slack Adjuster With Clutch Release Cam - An improved self-adjusting automatic slack adjuster for reducing slack in the brake of a vehicle is provided, in which an easily accessible external operating feature permits the automatic slack adjuster's one-way clutch assembly to be readily disengaged to allow smooth release and retraction of the brake shoes of a vehicle brake without damage to the one-way teeth of the clutch assembly. When the external feature is operated in a brake release direction, the motion of the feature is translated into a motion which axially displaces an output part of the one-way clutch away from an input part of the clutch a distance sufficient to disengage the parts' one-way teeth, thereby disengaging the one-way clutch to permit brake shoe retraction without resistance from the one-way clutch. | 05-20-2010 |
20100147636 | Automatic Slack Adjuster with Ball Detent Clutch - An improved self-adjusting automatic slack adjuster for reducing slack in the brake of a vehicle is provided, in which an easily accessible external operating feature actuates a ball detent clutch to permit the automatic slack adjuster's adjustment mechanism to be readily disengaged, so as to allow smooth release and retraction of the brake linings of a vehicle brake without damage to the adjustment mechanism's components. When the torque applied to the external feature exceeds a predetermined torque, the balls of the ball detent clutch move out of their retaining detents, thereby disengaging the slack adjuster's worm shaft from the adjustment mechanism and permitting brake shoe retraction without resistance from the adjustment mechanism. | 06-17-2010 |
20110120819 | DRUM BRAKE WITH AUTOMATIC SHOE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT APPARATUS - To provide the drum brake with the automatic shoe clearance adjustment apparatus to reduce the cost of the drum brake as reducing the number of components. The first engagement portion is provided between the brake lever and the strut body to engage the brake lever and the strut body without operating the service brake, and the second engagement portion is provided also to engage the brake lever and the strut body while automatically adjusting the shoe clearance. | 05-26-2011 |
20140216865 | Brake Lever For Drum Brake - A brake lever for a drum brake of a vehicle including a lever section for connection with a brake cylinder and a housing section for attachment to a splined S-cam shaft, which receives an adjustment device, the adjustment device including a first clutch (K | 08-07-2014 |
20140345985 | Lining Wear Adjustment Device for a Disc Brake - A lining wear adjustment device for a disc brake with a brake application device having a brake actuating lever, which can preferably be inserted into an adjustment spindle of the disc brake, includes an adjusting shaft with an external bearing, a rotary drive element and a clutch device for switchable coupling of the rotary drive element to the adjusting shaft. The clutch device is an electrically controllable solenoid clutch with at least one electromagnetic coil. | 11-27-2014 |

20120031716 | VARIABLE POSITION ANCHOR ASSEMBLY FOR ADJUSTING BRAKE SHOES IN A DRUM BRAKE - An anchor assembly is provided that permits adjustment of the brake shoes in a drum brake to account for wear. The assembly includes first and second adjuster shafts each having a plurality of threads and first and second pilot connectors. The pilot connectors each have a plurality of threads in engagement with the threads of a corresponding adjuster shaft. The pilot connectors each engage one end of a corresponding brake shoe. Rotation of each adjuster shaft causes longitudinal movement of a corresponding pilot connector in engagement with a corresponding brake shoe along an axis to adjust a position of the brake shoe. | 02-09-2012 |
