ABSTRACT:
A deadman brake (62) is provided for stopping a rotating member driven by a power source, including the flywheel (46) of an internal combustion engine (42) of a lawnmower (40). A cantilever leaf spring (94) has a root end (96) attached to an engine-mounted bracket (68), and a distal end (98) movable toward and away from the flywheel (46). A brake pad (100) is attached to the cantilever leaf spring (94) and normally engages the flywheel (46) under self-bias of the cantilever leaf spring (94). A cable system (56, 58) is coupled by a transfer member (72, 134) to the cantilever leaf spring (94) and is actuated to disengage the brake pad (100) from the flywheel (46). The transfer member (72, 134) is a double pivot (106, 126) member providing universal right hand and left hand direction actuation application.
