ENGINE FLYWHEEL BRAKE TOGGLE MECHANISM

摘要

ENGINE FLYWHEEL BRAKE TOGGLE MECHANISM An improvement in arrangements for rapidly halting an internal combustion engine powered implement upon release of a deadman control by the implement operator where a spring actuated braking member engages an annular friction surface on the engine flywheel and the engine ignition system is also disabled is disclosed employing a spring biased toggle moveable between folded and extended positions as the deadman lever moves respectively between actuated and released positions so as to provide a relatively constant force opposing operator actuation of the deadman lever. An additional operator actuated control lever may move the toggle beyond the extent possible due to deadman lever operation for engaging a starter mechanism when the deadman lever is actuated by the operator.
