Braking mechanism for a rotatable core support for a fabric roll

摘要

A mechanism for controlling the rotation of a core support for a fabric roll utilizing a shaft connected to the rotatable core support. The shaft rotates with the core support and is axially surrounded by a member such that the shaft is movable along the axis in relation to the member. The member may be key to the shaft and be connectable to a disc. The shaft and member are rotationally supported by a housing. The housing also provides brake pads for frictionally engaging the disc.
