ABSTRACT:
A brake primarily for use with a cement dispensing system such as those attached to the rear of a cement truck. A dispensing chute receives material from the tube connecting with the drum and is mounted to swing through an arc for carrying the cement away from the truck. The brake comprises an annular flange mounted concentric with the dispensing tube and a cooperating brake having shoes for gripping the flange. By fixing the flange to either the tube or the chute and the brake to the other member, actuation of the brake will stop and hold the chute in a selected radial position. The brake functions better than prior art devices because the flange in being positioned around the tube, provides a substantial lever arm for allowing the brake to stop and hold the chute.
