Abstract:
1. A brake assembly for locking a slidable sash window or door within a track of a frame, the truck having an elongated base and a pair of spaced apart, opposed sidewalls extending perpendicular from the base, each sidewall having an inner shoulder spaced from and parallel to the base, the assembly comprising: a slider body having a central opening extending from a front face of the slider body to a rear face of the slider body, a side opening in the slider body being in communication with the central opening; a brake member slidably positioned within the side opening; and a cam having a rear face and a front face adapted to receive a pivot member mounted on either the sash window or door, the cam positioned in the central opening and adapted to be rotatable within the central opening by the pivot member for radially biasing the brake member for movement through the side opening wherein the brake member is adapted to frictionally abut one of the sidewalls and axially biasing the cam and slider body for axial movement wherein the rear face is adapted to frictionally abut the elongated base and the front face of the slider body is adapted to frictionally abut the inner shoulders to lock the slider body from slidable travel in the track; wherein the radial movement of the brake member and axial movement of the cam and slider body occur substantially simultaneously.
