Compensating hydraulic brake structure with manual override
Abstract
Abstract THE IMPROVED COMPENSATOR UTILIZES A FRICTION RING THAT LOCKS UP IN A SMALL BORE IN THE CALIPER PART LOCATED BEHIND THE PISTON. A LONG MOUNTING SCREW PROJECTS REARWARDLY FROM THE PISTON AND EXTENDS THROUGH THE FRICTON RING AND THE CALIPER BORE. A DOUBLE ACTING SPRING SUSPENSION PROVIDES A FLOATING MOUNTING FOR THE PISTON AND DETERMINES ITS NORMAL AXIAL POSITION. ONE SECTION OF THE SPRING SUSPENSION IS INTERPOSED BETWEEN THE FRICTION RING AND THE BACK OF THE PISTON AND ACTS AS A MEMORY SPRING THE OTHER SECTION OF THE SPRING SUSPENSION IS INTERPOSED BETWEEN THE FRICTION RING ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE AND AN ADJUSTMENT NUT CARRIED OIN THE MOUNTING SCREW. THE ADJUSTMENT NUT IS EXTERIORLY ACCESSIBLE.
