ABSTRACT:
A brake assembly is disclosed in which a first pivoted lever receives and transmits brake actuating force to a second pivoted lever via tapered rollers. As the first lever is pivoted, a force is transmitted from a point which moves along the first lever to a point which moves along the length of the second lever so as to provide an increase in the mechanical advantage of both levers. In addition, the point of force application moves along the axis of each tapered roller to increase the rate at which the second lever moves to apply the braking force.
