  • Braking assembly
    Patent number: 8281902
    Abstract: A vehicle braking assembly for a wheel includes a braking member arranged to move relative to the main body of the wheel between an inoperative and an operative position, a resilient biasing member for urging the braking member into the inoperative position, and a latch for causing the braking member to move to the operative position, the latch being operable by coded message passed by a separate transmitter as electromagnetic radiation and the assembly is provided with an EMR sensor.

  • Latching mechanism
    Patent number: 8267226
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for retarding rotation of at least one wheel, the apparatus including at least one braking member, a latch member secured to the braking member and movable between a first position and a second position, and a latch actuating member arranged to determine the position in which the latch member is positioned. The braking member is movable into a braking position in which rotation of the at least one wheel is retarded when the latch member is in the second position.
