The mechanism comprises a slider body with space for two pins, two ball bearings, and a plunger with sloped surfaces on one end and a mounting provision on the other. A solenoid is attached to the mounting provision. The sloped surface is shaped such that when the solenoid is activated and the solenoid moves the plunger, the sloped surface pushes the ball bearings apart which pushes against the pins apart which in turn pushes against the brake shoes thereby disengaging the brake shoes from the brake drum and permitting the first bearing body to rotate relative to the second bearing body. | 12-15-2011 |
