Abstract
Abstract An electric motor and brake arrangement comprises an electric motor with a drive shaft for the motor and an output shaft for the arrangement, the output shaft carrying a radial supporting plate in which is provided a brake element with a brake shoe, the brake shoe being urged into contact with a brake drum associated with the casing by spring means and torque transmitting means on the drive shaft for transmitting torque to the brake element to release the brake, the brake element cooperating with stop means on the support plate for transmission of torque from the brake element thereto.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
127 words
An electric motor and brake arrangement comprising an electric motor, a casing for said motor, a drive shaft for said motor, an output shaft for the arrangement, a support plate mounted on said output shaft for movement therewith and extending radially therefrom, a brake element mounted on said support plate, a brake drum associated with said casing, a brake shoe on said brake element for co-operating with said brake drum, spring means for urging said brake shoe into contact with said brake drum, torque transmitting means on said drive shaft for transmitting torque to said brake element in a direction to release said brake and stop means on said support plate engageable with said brake element for transmitting torque from said brake element to said support plate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
127 words
An electric motor and brake arrangement comprising an electric motor, a casing for said motor, a drive shaft for said motor, an output shaft for the arrangement, a support plate mounted on said output shaft for movement therewith and extending radially therefrom, a brake element mounted on said support plate, a brake drum associated with said casing, a brake shoe on said brake element for co-operating with said brake drum, spring means for urging said brake shoe into contact with said brake drum, torque transmitting means on said drive shaft for transmitting torque to said brake element in a direction to release said brake and stop means on said support plate engageable with said brake element for transmitting torque from said brake element to said support plate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
An arrangement as defined in claim 1, wherein said drive shaft comprises a hollow shaft surrounding said output shaft for rotation relative to said output shaft.
