METHOD OF SETTING CONTACT POSITION BETWEEN OPERATING CAM AND ROLLER FOR AIR BRAKE, AND OPERATING CAM FOR AIR BRAKE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18233721 titled 'METHOD OF SETTING CONTACT POSITION BETWEEN OPERATING CAM AND ROLLER FOR AIR BRAKE, AND OPERATING CAM FOR AIR BRAKE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for setting the contact position between the operating cam and the roller for an air brake system. This involves adjusting the contact position between the operating cam and the second roller to ensure proper braking performance when the vehicle moves backward.

  • Leading shoe and trailing shoe with first and second rollers respectively
  • First and second linings on external surfaces of the shoes
  • Drum on the back plate circumference
  • Operating cam supporting the rollers to rotate and expand the gap between the shoes
  • Setting the contact position between the operating cam and the second roller for effective braking during backward movement

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in various air brake systems for vehicles, especially those that require precise control of braking performance during backward movement.

Problems Solved

1. Ensures proper contact position between the operating cam and the roller for efficient braking. 2. Provides a method for adjusting the contact position to optimize braking performance during backward movement.

Benefits

1. Improved braking efficiency and control. 2. Enhanced safety during vehicle operation, especially when moving in reverse.

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology can be utilized in the automotive industry for manufacturing air brake systems for trucks, buses, and other heavy vehicles.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of adjustable cam mechanisms in brake systems to optimize contact positions for improved performance.

Original Abstract Submitted

A method of setting the contact position between the operating cam and the roller for the air brake which includes a leading shoe and a trailing shoe respectively provided with a first roller and a second roller, a first lining and a second lining respectively provided on external surfaces of the leading shoe and the trailing shoe, a drum disposed on a circumference of the back plate, and the operating cam disposed to support the first roller and the second roller therebetween to rotate in a direction of expanding a gap between the leading shoe and the trailing shoe, includes setting the contact position between the operating cam and the second roller so that a direction in which the operating cam presses the second roller during braking is moved in a rotation direction of the drum when the vehicle moves backward thereof.
