Abstract:
A friction belt brake with a rotary cylinder (1), which is wound around at least a part of its circumference by a friction belt (2), and with a support (3) for the friction belt (2), which in a first braking position, can be pivoted around a first axis (9; 25) and two securing points (10, 11) for respectively opposite end sections of the friction belt (2), wherein a first (10) of the two securing points has a longer lever arm (a) in relation to the first axis than the second securing point (11), characterized in that in a second braking position, the support (3) can be pivoted around a second axis (9â€²; 25â€²) with regard to which the second securing point (11 ) has a longer lever arm than the first (10), wherein between the braking positions, the support (3) executes a motion in which the two axes (25, 25â€²) continually transition into each other.
