Abstract: 8989. Heilmann, J. J. Oct. 22, 1909, [Convention date]. [Addition to 7324/09.] Band. - Relates to a modification of the vehicle brake described in the parent Specification, in which a brake band is adapted to act upon a drum which is rotated in the opposite direction to the vehicle-wheel by a cone clutch and planet gearing. According to the present invention, the cone clutch is replaced by a split ring which is driven by the vehicle-wheel and is compressed by another band brake into driving engagement with the outer member of the planet gearing. A split ring 4 engages by dovetails 5 with a pulley 2 secured to the vehicle-wheel, and is acted upon exteriorly by a brake band 6 which compresses the ring into contact with a second pulley 9. This pulley 9 is mounted loosely and forms the outer member of a toothed planet geariog 10, 11, the inner member 14 of which is thereby rotated in the opposite direction to the vehicle-wheel and is acted upon by a band brake 16. The bands 6, 16 are applied simultaneously by means of the levers and rods 23 ... 26. The braking-surfaces are proportioned so that the reactions occasioned by the application of the bands to the oppositely rotating drums are equal. The pinions 11 of the planet gearing, and the spindles 17, 18 to which the brake levers are attached, are mounted in a support 19 which is fixed to the axle 20.
