ABSTRACT:
A combination in-line brake slack adjuster and air chamber for connection to a vehicle brake shaft lever arm includes an air chamber and a piston movable in the air chamber. The slack adjuster is of the compression type and is coaxially attached at one end to the piston and at the opposite end is adapted for connection to a vehicle brake shaft lever arm. The slack adjuster reacts to a coaxially applied brake application force by the piston to apply a force to the brake shaft lever arm and automatically takes up and lets out slack as determined by movement to a full brake application position to maintain a generally uniform travel of the piston during brake application.
