Abstract
Abstract This invention provides a hydraulic motor with a mechanical brake device in which a brake means is always pressed in position between the case body of the brake device and the brake operating member by the pressing force of plural spring members, and the brake operating member pressing the brake means is slid in the axial direction resisting against the spring members through cam means in response to a driving torque from a drive shaft of a hydraulic motor assembly so that the brake device always can be restrained from rotation of a free rotatable drive shaft during the non-operation of the hydraulic motor assembly and capable to be taken off restraint in response to a driving torque from the drive shaft of a hydraulic motor assembly.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
234 words
In a hydraulic motor having a primary drive shaft (41a), a brake device capable of being removed in response to the driving torque from said primary drive shaft, the brake device comprising: a. a secondary drive shaft (41b) aligned on the same axis with said primary drive shaft; b. a shaft coupling assembly (60) for connecting said secondary drive shaft to said primary drive shaft, said coupling assembly including a pair of coupling element members (58, 59) one of which is fixed to the either of said two drive shafts and other of which is slidably mounted in the axial direction with the other of said two drive shafts; c. a brake means (79) held on said slidable coupling element member, said brake means including the plurality of circular brake shoes (81) and circular brake plate members (80); d. a cylindrical brake operating member (82) with a bearing (83) mounted on said slidable coupling element member and slidable therewith; e. a case (52) for holding said brake device, a plurality of spring members (84) for pressing said brake means (79) against the case (52) of said brake device through said brake operating member (82); and, f. a cam means for sliding said slidable coupling element member together with said brake operating member (82) in the axial direction resisting against said spring members (84) in response to the driving torque from said primary drive shaft.
