ABSTRACT:
An improved self-actuating linkage for a flexible band-type brake which eliminates binding or locking of the brake. The linkage includes a pair of pivotally supported L-shaped levers connected to the brake band. The levers cross and are pivotally connected to a cam member. The cam member has a pair of angularly related slots extending outwardly from a line through the axis of the drum and slidably receiving the pivotal connections to the levers. The brake is actuated by tensioning the cam member and the brake is released by movement of the cam member toward the brake drum, whereby the levers are spread within the angularly related slots to assure release of the brake band.
