Abstract:
1. A braking apparatus for implements of motor-driven tool units, the braking apparatus comprising: an arm having at least one bearing disposed therein for rotatable mounting of an axle; and a flange fastened on the rotatably mounted axle, the axle and/or the flange being drivable by means of a drive motor, wherein a first friction element is firmly connected on the arm and a second friction element is connected to the axle and/or to the flange establishing an integral rotation of the second friction element and the axle and/or the flange, the first friction element and the second friction element come into frictional contact with one another in a state where the rotatable axle rotates at low rotational speeds or is at a standstill, and not come into frictional contact with one another in a state where the rotatable axle rotates at high rotational speeds, depending on the action of centrifugal force on at least one flyweight, the second friction element is at least one element which is displaceable relative to the axle, which has a friction surface on one side, and the second friction element is a disk which has an opening approximately centrally through which the axle can be guided.
