ABSTRACT:
The brake system comprises a shaft interposed between two propeller shaft segments via universal joints, a radial compressor selectively connected with the shaft, a casing for housing the radial compressor and the shaft with the universal joints being outside the casing, and stay members mounted on the casing for allowing the casing to be suspended from the vehicle body. The brake system has a radial compressor which is selectively connected with the propeller shaft and consumes energy of the engine. The energy consumed is a result of the compressor serving as a brake force. The casing is fixed to the vehicle body so that the brake system also serves as a center bearing of the propeller shaft.
