ABSTRACT:
A band brake for retarding the motion of an associated rotatable member. The brake acts to resist motion of the rotatable member through actuation of both of its ends by a cylindrical actuating member. The band is connected with and carried by actuator so as to allow the band to move with and respond in the same direction as the actuator. In doing so, greater opportunity exists for the structure connecting the band to the actuator to withstand and resist yielding upon application of force to the actuator.
