Abstract

627,559. Fluid-pressure controlled brakes. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO., Ltd., and FOSTER, R. T., [Representative of FOSTER, H. H.]. Feb. 15, 1946, No. 4852. [Class 103 (i)] In a brake control system in which the brake is normally applied by fluid pressure acting on a first piston at one end of a slidable member connected to the brake, when the fluid pressure acting on a second piston at the other end of the member is reduced, the chamber of the first piston is directly connected to the pressure source and contains a third piston which carries a weight and is normally supported by the pressure fluid but which engages the slidable member to apply the brake if the fluid pressure fails. As shown, cylinders 8, 9 of pistons 6, 7 at the ends of a member 5 connected to a brake operating lever 2 are connected respectively to an oil pump 15 and to a control valve 21 which is also connected by pipe 19 to the pump. A pneumatic accumulator 27 provides a reserve of liquid under pressure. A piston 11 slidable in the cylinder 9 carries a weight 12 and is normally displaced from the piston 7 as shown by the fluid pressure a valve 16 being opened by the piston to byepass the pump when it reaches a predetermined height. A pressure relief valve of usual kind may replace the valve 16. The valve 21 is controlled by a manually operated floating lever 24 which is connected to the member 5 to give a follow-up action. Assuming the pistons to be in the raised position, downward movement of the lever 24 connects the cylinder 8 to the sump 17 through pipe 25 and a throttle valve 26, so that the member 5 descends under the pressure in cylinder 9 to apply the brake. When the lever 24 is raised the cylinder 8 is connected to the supply pipe 14 by the valve to release the brake. Should the oil pressure fail when the brake is off, the piston 11 moves downwards to abut on the member 5 so that upon subsequent operation of the valve 21 to vent the cylinder 8 the brake is applied by the weight 12. A hand or other pump may be arranged between the sump 17 and the lower end of the member 5 to enable the brake to be released when the main supply has failed. The pistons 6, 7 may be of equal areas, a reducing valve being arranged in the connection to the upper cylinder. The brake may be used for winding engines.
