ABSTRACT:
An automatic slack adjusting mechanism for a rotary oscillatory cam actuated brake assembly including an elongated housing having an opening therethrough and a bore, a worm gear rotatably mounted in the opening, a shaft mounted for rotation in the bore and having a worm nonrotatably secured thereto and drivingly engaging the gear. A detent part in the housing is axially fixed relative to the bore and a link is pivotally connected to one end of a plunger assembly and to the housing whereby pivotal movement of the link relative to the housing will move the plunger assembly relative to the detent part and the detent will rotate the plunger, the worm and the worm gear upon return movement of the plunger assembly following outward movement of the assembly beyond a predetermined distance relative to the detent. The detent part includes a spring biased pawl extending into toothed engagement with a helical toothed surface portion of the plunger. The opening includes a first, second and third bore having successively smaller diameters and forming flanges intermediate thereof. The worm gear is maintained in sliding relation with the second bore and a first intermediate flange by an annular retainer which is disposed in the third bore in abutting relation with a second intermediate flange. The retainer includes an annular channel formed from two coaxial axially extending portions connected by a radially extending portion which is filled with an elastomeric material which forms an annular face seal maintained proximate an annular face of the worm gear. The opposing annular faces include seals which cooperatively define a sealed area which extends radially inwardly of said annular face portions.
