ABSTRACT:
A braking system for use on a towing vehicle and on a towed vehicle comprises a vacuum capture mechanism for capturing vacuum from a towing vehicle. A vacuum delivery mechanism is provided for delivering vacuum to a towed vehicle. A switch mechanism is also provided for allowing controlled transfer of vacuum to a towed vehicle. A vacuum reception mechanism is coupleable with the vacuum delivery mechanism for receipt of vacuum. An air pressure mechanism is adapted to be coupled to a towed vehicle for generating air pressure when actuated. A ram mechanism is coupled to the air pressure mechanism for depressing a brake pedal of a towed vehicle when the air pressure mechanism is actuated. A vacuum switch mechanism is coupled to the vacuum reception mechanism. The vacuum switch mechanism has one orientation for actuating the air pressure mechanism upon receipt of vacuum. A check valve switch mechanism is coupled to the vacuum switch mechanism and adapted to be coupled to a brake vacuum system of a towed vehicle for receipt of vacuum therefrom.
