14,504. Muirhead, W., and Wilkinson, H. June 15. Motor road vehicles.- Relates to the construction of a brake for the wheels of motor and other vehicles having pneumatic tyres. A brake roller B is mounted on an axle C carried by pieces D which slide on a fork F, and are held down by a flat spring G. A block I carried by a fixed plate H comes into contact with and retards the rotation of the roller B when the latter is pressed against the action of the spring G upon the tyre A. The fork F, which is made integral with the brake rod D, is carried in bearings in a support K secured to the frame, and is normally held away from the wheel by the action of the coiled spring M. A modification is described in which two rollers are carried by a bridge-piece secured to the brake rod and bear against the sides of the tyre.
