Manual Release Mechanism For Spring-Applied Parking Brake
US Patent:
4279332, Jul 21, 1981
Filed:
Oct 1, 1979
Appl. No.:
6/080593
Inventors:
Glenn Morgan - Brentwood PA
Robert B. Morris - North Huntingdon, both of PA

Assignee:
American Standard Inc. - Wilmerding PA
International Classification:
F16D 6524
US Classification:
188170
Abstract:
A spring-applied, air-released parking brake, having a manual release mechanism with an automatic reset feature. To release a spring-applied parking brake, in the absence of air, a torsion bolt having a cam member formed on it is manually rotated to a position aligning the cam with an elongated slot in the piston push rod of the parking brake cylinder. This allows the piston to be extended in a direction to extend the spring, thus relieving the spring force. Reapplication of air pressure moves the piston push rod out of the elongated slot to permit angular rotation of the bolt by its torsion spring, so as to prevent its entry in the elongated slot until the bolt is again rotated manually.
