ABSTRACT:
A simplified disc brake is provided, particularly for small gearboxes in the nature of transmissions and transaxles. The gearbox includes a housing having an output shaft extending therefrom with a brake disc mounted on the shaft for rotatable and limited longitudinal movement. The housing has a structurally integral brake puck pocket holding a first brake puck facing toward an inside surface of the brake disc. The housing also has a structurally integral second brake puck pocket holding a second brake puck opposite the first and facing toward an outside surface of the brake disc. The housing forms two spaced passages communicating with portions of the second brake puck pocket and holding pins positioned to move longitudinally toward the second brake puck to move it toward the brake disc. A mounting bolt is also supported by the housing between the two brake pin passages and a brake lever is pivotally mounted on the bolt and engageable with outer ends of the pins to move them toward the second brake puck when the lever is pivoted to set the brake. The housing also has a structurally-integral protective wall outside the brake disc.
