Zusammenfassung: | Brake control apparatus utilizing vehicle weight or gravitational force as the primary force for applying the vehicle brakes. The gravitational force is transmitted by a fulcrum lever acting through a fluid medium, the moment arms or fulcrum point of said lever, and therefore the force delivered thereby, being variable according to the deflection of the vehicle springs reflecting the vehicle weight and its load, as well as the effect of vertical oscillations of the wheels during movement of the vehicle over a running surface, thereby controlling the degree of brake shoe pressure on the wheels according to the effective friction of the wheels with the running surface. |
