ABSTRACT:
An automatic brake adjust and reset device particularly adapted for use in a multiple disc aircraft disc brake and having one or more spring loaded axially movable tubular members engaged by a movable cutting member connected to and actuated by a brake applying pressure plate. A pair of spaced apart fixed stops operatively connected to the tubular member serve to limit axial movement thereof to a brake released position under the influence of the spring load thereon and to a brake applying position under the influence of the brake applying pressure plate connected to the cutting member. The tubular member is fixed at the brake applying position whereupon continued movement of the pressure plate and cutting member attached thereto results in cutting or slitting of the tubular member by the cutting member to the extent necessary to compensate for axial wear of the multiple brake discs. Upon release of the brake, the pressure plate is retracted to the extent permitted by the spring actuated tubular member which moves to the brake released position. A plurality of tubular members arranged in concentric order and associated cutting members operative to cut or slit the same in sequential order may be provided to extend the range of brake adjustment accordingly.
