ABSTRACT:
A rolling contact suction system for vehicle braking and adhesion, in one embodiment comprising a suction cylinder adapted to be mounted on a vehicle for rolling contact with the surface upon which the vehicle moves; a plurality of suction disks contained in a surface layer of, and positioned within the profile of, the suction cylinder, the surface layer being made of a resilient material; and passageway within the suction cylinder for allowing the passage way of air from inside each suction disk, operable only when the internal volume of the suction disk is decreased. In another embodiment, the rolling contact suction system for vehicle braking and adhesion comprises a first cylinder adapted to be mounted rotatably on the vehicle so that the cylinder's horizontal main axis is parallel to the vehicle's axles; a second cylinder adapted to be secured to mounted rotatably on the vehicle parallel to, spaced from, and positioned to the rear of, the first cylinder; an endless belt suction tread, mounted around both the first cylinder and the second cylinder, for contact with, and for movement along, the surface upon which the vehicle moves, the suction tread having a plurality of suction disks on its outer surface; and passageway of for air from inside each suction disk operable only when the internal volume of the suction disk is decreased.
