ABSTRACT:
A flywheel mechanism acts on a dump valve through a lever assembly. The lever assembly comprises a lever which carries an arm at an intermediate point in its length and the arm projects through a seal into a chamber in a casing to co-operate with a valve member of the dump valve which is engageable with a seating. The arm is pivotally connected to the casing by a pivot pin of which the axis is offset from the main axis of the arm in a direction towards the flywheel mechanism. Brake pressure acts on the arm to move it angularly about the pin in a direction to enhance the closing force of the dump valve. Offsetting the pin ensures that the flywheel mechanism has to generate a relatively higher torque on good surfaces when relatively high brake pressures are present before the dump valve will open, than on poor surfaces when the brake pressures are relatively low.
