Abstract: The invention relates to improvements in or relating to braking systems, in particular to an apparatus for reducing the stopping time of a moving body in a gardening machine, for example, the rotary blade of a rotary lawnmower. The present invention also relates to a gardening machine having such an apparatus, more specifically to a lawncare machine such as lawnmowers. We describe an apparatus for reducing the stopping time of a moveable body in a gardening machine, the apparatus comprising a brake acting permanently upon a component of the drive mechanism of the moveable body. In particular, we describe an apparatus comprising an electric motor driving a driven shaft (12) by means of an indirect drive assembly. The apparatus comprises a brake system in which a brake element is in substantially permanent contact with a component of the indirect drive assembly. In a preferred embodiment the brake system comprises an annular brake disc (18) and the brake element comprises a brake pad (20) biased into contact with the brake disc. The present invention also provides a lawncare apparatus comprising the apparatus described above, in particular, a lawnmower preferably of the rotary type.
