Abstract:
A braking system for safely collecting brake dust produced by operation of a braking mechanism. The braking system comprises a collector apparatus coupled with a braking mechanism. The collector apparatus is able to include a shroud that surrounds the braking mechanism and a catch element coupled with the shroud for collecting brake dust exiting the shroud. As a result, when coupled with the braking mechanism, the collector apparatus is able to ensure that most or all brake dust, such as copper or other particles from the braking mechanism that break off from the breaking mechanism during operation of the braking mechanism, are removed from the braking mechanism and collected by the filter/catch of the collector mechanism.

Claim (Index 1):
A braking apparatus for collecting brake dust caused by braking a vehicle, the braking apparatus comprising:\n a braking mechanism having one or more brake pads; a shroud coupled with the braking mechanism and forming a cavity having a shroud inlet aperture and a shroud outlet aperture with an air path between the shroud inlet aperture and the shroud outlet aperture; and a catch canister coupled with the shroud, wherein the brake dust separates from the air path between the shroud inlet aperture and the shroud outlet aperture and is caught by the catch canister.
