Title: A new or improved device for limiting the load which can be applied to a power transmission member
IPC: B60T8/26
Filed: 1935-05-01
Abstract: 455,788. Locking rods. BENDIX, Ltd., and ROBERTS, G. P., King's Road, Tyseley, Birmingham. May 1, 1935, Nos. 12949, 28794, and 31350. [Class 80 (iii)] [See also Group XXXIV] In means for limiting the load that can be applied to a power transmission member, the load is transmitted through a member which is normally slidable through a fixed housing but is automatically locked thereto when the loading of a spring which may for instance be interposed in the transmission member or may restrain the movement of an inertia control member, is exceeded. The device is applicable for limiting the force applied to the rear brakes of a vehicle to avoid skidding of the rear wheels in view of the transference of load from the rear to the front wheels effected by a brake application. In Fig. 16, a rod 20 connected to the brake pedal has an abutment 24 between which and a bushing 25 screwed into a sleeve 14, a spring 22 is interposed. A Bowden cable 13 connected at one end to the rear brakes is connected at the other end by a pin 16 to the sleeve 14. The parts are normally free to slide in a fixed housing 9, but when in applying the brakes, the force transmitted to the cable 13 exceeds the initial loading of the spring 22, the rod 20 slides sufficiently in the sleeve 14 to cause rollers 17 to become wedged between a tapered part 21 of the rod and the housing 9 so that the rod is locked to the housing and cannot transmit additional force to the cable. By turning the bushing 25, the loading of the spring 22 may be adjusted and if only two adjustments are required as for a loaded and unloaded vehicle, a stop 22 may be provided for the handle 26 so that the movement of the bushing is limited to one turn. The sleeve 25 may instead be turned by gearing with a remote control. Fig. 7 shows a modification in which the locking is effected when a predetermined deceleration of the vehicle is reached. The rod 28 connected to the rear brakes and normally slidable in the fixed housing 29, has slidable thereon a sleeve 30 through a slot in which and in the rod extends an arm 31 pivoted at 32 to the housing 29. The arm carries a mass 35 and is normally urged by a spring 38 to position the sleeve 30 to maintain balls 40 disengaged from a conical part 39 of the housing 29. When the given deceleration is exceeded the mass and arm 31 swing to the right against the action of the spring 38, permitting a spring 42 acting through a collar 41 to move the balls into a wedging position so that the rod 28 is locked against further movement. The movement of the sleeve 30 may instead be effected by a solenoid which is energized by movement of a spring-loaded pendulum which may be arranged at any convenient point on the vehicle. The pedal may be connected to the front and rear brakes through an equalizing bar or lever.
