Abstract
Abstract A brake assembly is provided for a fluid operated piston and cylinder device having a force applying cross head operating through a slot in the cylinder wall. The brake assembly is integrated with the cross head and consists of brake lining concentrically arranged about the cylinder for engagement with the outer surface of the cylinder. The brake assembly is actuated by a drive mechanism to engage the cylinder outer surface so as to stop, lock and/or position the piston as required.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
123 words
A brake assembly for a fluid operated piston and cylinder device of the type wherein drive means are connected to the piston to longitudinally move the piston relative to the cylinder, said piston having no piston rod, said device further having a force applying cross head movably disposed on the cylinder's outer wall surface and connected to said drive means for longitudinal movement with the piston, said assembly being integrated within the cross head and comprising at least one brake lining concentrically arranged about the cylinder for engagement with the outer wall surface of the cylinder and means for urging said brake lining into engagement with the cylinder's outer wall surface whereby to stop, lock and/or longitudinally position the piston with the cylinder.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
123 words
A brake assembly for a fluid operated piston and cylinder device of the type wherein drive means are connected to the piston to longitudinally move the piston relative to the cylinder, said piston having no piston rod, said device further having a force applying cross head movably disposed on the cylinder's outer wall surface and connected to said drive means for longitudinal movement with the piston, said assembly being integrated within the cross head and comprising at least one brake lining concentrically arranged about the cylinder for engagement with the outer wall surface of the cylinder and means for urging said brake lining into engagement with the cylinder's outer wall surface whereby to stop, lock and/or longitudinally position the piston with the cylinder.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
47 words
The brake assembly in accordance with claim 1 wherein said urging means comprises a bellows concentrically arranged about the cylinder in engagement with said brake lining and means for introducing fluid into said bellows whereby to expand said bellows to urge said brake lining against its cylinder.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
49 words
The brake assembly in accordance with claim 1 wherein said brake assembly consists of one or more fluid operated pistons, a cone interposed between said pistons and said brake lining, and spring means uring said pistons to go away from said brake linings when said pistons are not operated.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
The brake assembly in accordance with claim 3 wherein said brake lining controlling pistons are disposed concentrically about said cylinder.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
The brake assembly in accordance with claim 3 wherein said brake lining controlling pistons comprise a multiplicity of single pistons arranged concentrically about said cylinder.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
16 words
The brake assembly in accordance with claim 1 wherein said urging means comprises an electromagnetic member.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
27 words
The invention in accordance with claim 1 wherein said device includes a guide on the outside of said cylinder and said brake assembly slides on said guide.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
33 words
The brake assembly in accordance with claim 1 wherein the cross head is connected to the piston through a slot in the cylinder wall so that it is a part of said piston.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
24 words
The brake assembly in accordance with claim 1 wherein the drive means comprises a power transmission member connected to both sides of the piston.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
