ABSTRACT:
A brake locking mechanism for heavy vehicles, adapted to be installed in existing braking systems without altering the normal operation thereof, functions to prevent involuntary movement of the vehicle, due to system failure such as air or hydraulic fluid leakage, while standing. The mechanism includes a spring biased pawl engageable with rack teeth formed on the diaphragm actuated brake rod, the pawl being operated by an air or hydraulically actuated piston associated therewith and connected into the vehicle air or hydraulic system.
