ABSTRACT:
A cockpit carrier includes a welded frame having a first clamp and a second clamp rotatably mounted therein defining an axis of rotation. The clamps adapted to receive a cockpit flame. A gearbox is mounted between the first clamp and a handwheel to allow for manual rotational manipulation of the cockpit frame. The cockpit carrier further includes a brake caliper mounted to the welded frame, the caliper having friction pads disposed therein and a spring mounted thereto to bias the caliper in an engaged position. A lever pivotally attached to the lame and the caliper allows for manual positioning of the caliper in a disengaged position. The gearbox further has an input shaft and a brake disc mounted thereto. The brake disc 12 is positioned within the friction pads such that the friction pads provide a braking force against the disc in the engaged position to secure the cockpit frame in a selected rotational position and such that the friction pads do not contact the disc in the disengaged positioning allowing for the manual rotational manipulation of the cockpit frame about the rotation axis.
