Abstract:
A rear brake device for a beach buggy comprising an axle sleeve for an axle of two rear wheels to fit in, a brake disc with two semicircular brake members fixed behind said axle sleeve, and a brake drum having a center hole fixed with a serrated connect tube to engage with and rotate synchronously with said axle, said two semicircular brake members pulled by two coil springs located between said two brake members, said two semicircular brake members activated to expand by an active rod pivotally connected to said brake disc, and characterized by one end of said axle sleeve facing said brake disc directly fixed firmly with said brake disc to prevent said brake disc from disfiguring, said brake drum directly hiding an outer side of said brake disc, said axle fitting in a cylindrical connect tube to force said brake drum tightly touch said brake disc so as not to fall off and at the same time sealing said serrated connect tube, a dirt rubber ring placed around a joint locations of said brake drum and said brake disc, said brake drum serves as a cover, the friction dimensions between said brake members and said brake drum thus increased to heighten the friction coefficient and braking effect and simplify assembling process.
