AUTOMOBILE BRAKING DEVICE Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: transport engineering; brake systems. SUBSTANCE: automobile has ac generator with built-in rectifier and storage battery. Proposed braking device has front and rear brake mechanisms, brake master cylinder with brake fluid, brake pedal, vacuum booster and rear brake pressure regulator. Four electromagnets are introduced into braking device, one for each wheel, connected to generator rectifier output. One of output terminals of rectifier and one of leads of fitted-in electromagnets mounted on brake mechanisms are connected to body, and other leads of electromagnets are interconnected and connected to one of thermal of rheostat whose second output terminal is connected to second output of rectifier through normally-open contact of STOP relay. Movable terminal of rheostat is mechanically coupled with brake pedal. One terminal of STOP relay is connected to potential terminal of generator rectifier output and other terminal is connected to point of connection of vehicle STOP lamp and STOP signal cut-in contact. Normally-closed contact of relay is connected to automobile electrical equipment parallel to which storage battery is connected. EFFECT: improved efficiency of brakes and decreased braking distance. 2 dwg
