BRAKE BAND Filed March 15, 1931 INVENTOR I'mnas Jean Beater,
iatented Feb. 12 1935 UNl'lEh stars BRAKE BANE Francis Jean Renter, Washington, D. 0., asngnor to Pachmat Corporation Application March 13, 1931, Serial No. scares l5 @laims.
The present invention relates to brake bands and, more particularly, to the species of such devices adapted for usejn connection with automobiles.
The invention is a modificationof the inventions disclosed in my prior and depending applications Ser. Nos. 204,456 and 308,381, for packing material, showing a loosely woven mesh composed of continuous strands or a' soft metal, strands of arefractory material, and strands of a yarn, such as flax, the whole impregnated with a suitable lubricant, or. a similarly made up fabric from which the strands of yarn are omitted.
The present invention, which is intended for a different purpose, namely, a. brake band, as against the former purpose of obtaining a packing material, difiers from the inventions above referred to in several respects. The fabric is tightly woven, it contains no lubricant, and the 'metal strandsneed not be especially soft. Thus, while copper was preferably used in the packing mate rial, any non-ferrous metal may be used in the present invention. Indeed, were it not for the fact that the brake band is usually applied to a drum made of ferrous metal, it would be quite as practicable to use strands of ferrous metal in the present device, but, the drum being of ferrous metal, the strands of a similar metal are likely to freeze during the braking action and impede the operation and even cause the band to break. However, should the brake band he applied to a drum of non-ferrous metal, a contingency which may arise even though it does not seem at the moment to be probable, there would be no reason for excluding strands of ferrous metal fromthe structure of the brake band.
The other strands of the tightly woven brake band may be of any refractory material, preferably asbestos, or a combination of such strands with strands of a suitable yarn, such, for example, as flax, preferably twisted to give it strength. The band, of course, is used dry. Should it be exposed to moisture, as, for instance, in its ap-= plication to automobiles when subjected to rain, or when fording through a puddle or stream, or as the result of washing the car, heat generated by the friction between the metal strands and the metal drum will cause the asbestos and flax strands to dry and thus rapidly restore the effi= ciency of the brake band.
In. the drawing, Figure l is view of one embodiment of the present invention wherein strands of metal, strands of a refractory material, and strands of a yam are used. Figure 2 is a similar view of another embodiment of the invention (on. se -2s I wherein only strands of a metal and strands of a refractory material are used. Figure dis a view of a modification oi the invention shown in Figure 1, the band in this case being tubular, as is shown by the cross section taken along the line 5-5 of Figure 3 and illustrated in Figure 5. Fig ure 4 is a similar View of a tubular form of-the embodiment illustrated in Figure 2. Figure 6 is a view of the cross section shown in Figure 5 after the tubular band has been flattened out under compression. Figure 7 is a view or the brake band shown in Figure l, as it actually looks.
In explanation of the difierence between Fig= ures 1 and 7, it should be understood that,as the strands are tightly woven, there is actually no separation between the strands, so that the band actually looks as shown in Figure 7. However, as the actual appearance of the band fails to clearly show the'construction and the separate strands, Figures 1. to 6' inclusive are so drawn as to show the various strands. separated, with the understanding that this departure from the actual structure is made solely for the purpose of more clearly illustratingthe manner in which the strands are interwoven.
With this understanding kept in mind, in the figures, 1 is a strand. of a non-ferrous metal. As explained in the preamble, the metal need not be non-ferrous, since, if the drum is non-ferrous, 'the metal strands may be ferrous. Themetal strands 1 are intermeshed with the strands 2 of a yarn, preferably flax, twisted, and the strands 3 of a refractory material, preferably asbestos, as
is illustrated inFigures 1 and 3 (also in Figure L 7), or with the strands 3 alone,made of a refractory material, as is illustrated in Figures, 2* and 4.
The brake band may be flat, asin figures 1 and 2, or tubular, as in Figures 3 and 4. The
tubular form has not only the advantage of greater strength, but that of reversibility. The tube, when applied to the drum, is flattened out,- as is indicated in Figure 6, so that the band has double thickness. When one side is worn, the band may be reversed so that the unworn side is in contact with the drum.
In my prior applications above referred to, the strands are loosely woven in order to secure the mobility and elasticity needed in packing mate-.- rials for which those inventions are intended.
Moreover, the mesh was shown'as impregnated with a certain lubricating compound especially adapted for the composition of the material. In the present invention, on the contrary, excessive mobility of the elements entering into the referred to prior applications, is used in the present invention, for obvious reasons. An essential feature of the present invention, as in those disclosed in my prior applications mentioned herein, is the continuity of the strands which prevents structural decomposition and causes the'several strands to cooperate with one another and to maintain their combined, unitary strength. This feature is evenmore essential in the present invention than in those disclosed in my prior applications since, in a brake band, the
strands are under heavy stresses.
Iclaim:
1. A brake band comprising tightly intermeshed continuous strands of a non-ferrous metal, strands of a refractory material, and strands of a yarn having the properties of flax, inclined to the longitudinal direction of said band. i
2. A brake band comprising tightly intermeshed continuous strands of a metal other than the material of the drum to which the band is applied, strands got asbestos, and strands of twisted yarn having the properties of flax, inclined to the longitudinal direction of said band. 3.
