Abstract
Abstract A nonrotatable axle carries wheel support means upon which a wheel is rotatably journaled. A brake disc is drivingly connected with the wheel for rotation therewith. A caliper means engageable with said brake disc is connected with the axle means and held against rotation with respect thereto. Both the brake disc and the caliper means are disposed outboard of the wheel support means.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
201 words
An outboard mounted brake comprising axle means, wheel support means on said axle means, wheel means rotatably supported by said wheel support means, brake means including a first brake portion and a second cooperating brake portion engageable with said first brake portion, each of said first and second brake portions being disposed outboard of said wheel support means, said first brake portion comprising a brake disc drivingly interconnected with said wheel means, said second brake portion comprising caliper means, said axle means having a bore formed longitudinally therethrough and opening through the outer end thereof, said caliper means including a portion fitted within the open outer end of said bore in the axle means for supporting said caliper means on said axle means, means preventing relative rotation of said portion of the caliper means with respect to said axle means, a fluid line extending through said caliper means, said brake disc having a hole formed therethrough, and a further fluid line connected with said first-mentioned fluid line and exteNding through said hole in the brake disc, said wheel means including inflatable tires, said last-mentioned fluid line being connected with said tires to provide tire inflation and pressure balancing between the tires.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
201 words
An outboard mounted brake comprising axle means, wheel support means on said axle means, wheel means rotatably supported by said wheel support means, brake means including a first brake portion and a second cooperating brake portion engageable with said first brake portion, each of said first and second brake portions being disposed outboard of said wheel support means, said first brake portion comprising a brake disc drivingly interconnected with said wheel means, said second brake portion comprising caliper means, said axle means having a bore formed longitudinally therethrough and opening through the outer end thereof, said caliper means including a portion fitted within the open outer end of said bore in the axle means for supporting said caliper means on said axle means, means preventing relative rotation of said portion of the caliper means with respect to said axle means, a fluid line extending through said caliper means, said brake disc having a hole formed therethrough, and a further fluid line connected with said first-mentioned fluid line and exteNding through said hole in the brake disc, said wheel means including inflatable tires, said last-mentioned fluid line being connected with said tires to provide tire inflation and pressure balancing between the tires.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
218 words
An outboard-mounted brake comprising axle means, wheel support means on said axle means, wheel means rotatably supported by said wheel support means, brake means including a first brake portion and a second cooperating brake portion engageable with said first brake portion, each of said first and second brake portions being disposed outboard of said wheel support means, said first brake portion comprising a brake disc drivingly interconnected with said wheel means, said second brake portion comprising caliper means, said axle means having a bore formed longitudinally therethrough and opening through the outer end thereof, said caliper means including a portion fitted within the open outer end of said bore in the axle means for supporting said caliper means on said axle means, means preventing relative rotation of said portion of the caliper means with respect to said axle means, an annular centering means operatively engaged with the outer periphery of said brake disc and being positioned between the outer periphery of said brake disc and the inner periphery of a portion of said wheel means for retaining the brake disc in proper centered orientation relative to said wheel means, said centering means comprising a resilient relatively rigid ring, said brake disc having spaced teeth formed thereon, said ring including portions extending between adjacent teeth on the brake disc.
Claim 4
