MECHANICAL SAFETY BRAKE FOR A MOBILE STORAGE SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention is a mechanical safety braking device for use with a mobile storage unit forming a part of the mobile storage system. The devic e includes an actuating member disposed on a mobile storage unit that is ope rably connected via a mechanical means to a braking mechanism engaged with a motive system for the mobile storage unit. When the actuating member is eng aged, the mechanical connection between the actuating member and the braking mechanism causes the braking mechanism to slow and ultimately cease the ope ration of the motive means and consequent movement of the mobile storage uni t.
