BRAKE SHOE AND BRAKE ASSEMBLY

摘要

BRAKE ASSEMBLY A brake assembly including a pair of brake shoes having adjacent ends pivotally mounted to a support and a rotatable actuating cam disposed between the other ends of the brake shoes. The brake shoe webs are recessed at one end to engage a fixed pin. The recess provides an arcuate bearing surface adapted to bear against a portion of the pin and permit pivoting movement of thebrake shoe about the pin as the brake is actuated and released. The recess is so oriented relative to the pin that the pin will engage an end portion of the arcuate bearing surface and prevent the recessed end of the brake shoe from moving away from the pin when the brake assembly is actuated.
