ABSTRACT:
An improvement in a Horizontal Pull Slipmeter (HPS) enables more accurate and more rapid coefficient of friction measurements to be made upon walking surfaces. The improvement involves a specialized interaction between a drag sled and a stationary pulling mechanism which in conventional HPS devices, are seperate entities. The specialized interaction utilizes paired tracks which extend from the pulling mechanism and serve to guide the drag sled. The pulling mechanism utilizes a motor which is automatically activated when the HPS is placed on the walking surface and pulls the drag sled at a constant speed.
