| 20110083412 | BRAKE ASSEMBLY FOR POWER EQUIPMENT - A brake system for use in power equipment is disclosed. The brake system has a brake arm that pivots at one end and has a brake pad at the other end. The brake arm is connected to a spring which, when the brake system is engaged, the spring causes the brake arm to pivot upwards and the brake pad comes into contact with a rotating member, for example a pulley, that may be attached to a lawn mower blade. The combination of the spring pivoting the brake arm upwards as well as the rotation of the pulley towards the brake arm causes the pulley to cease rotating, bringing the rotating member to a stop. The operator of the power equipment may have a lever or other apparatus to cause the brake arm to move between an engaged position and a disengaged position. | 04-14-2011 |
