Band brake mechanism for an automatic transmission of an automobile

摘要

An band brake mechanism for an automatic transmission of an automobile, wherein a size and form of a band hoop is determined so that the band hoop may occupy a position by the elasticity in which any portion of the band hoop is not in contact with a drum when the band hoop is in set position before braking. Projections formed in one body with a housing are arranged around the band hoop for supporting and locating the band hoop in the set position, so that the full length of the band hoop keeps the constant space to the peripheral surface of the drum.
