  • Integrated parking lock for vehicle axles
    Patent number: 4662489
    Abstract: A novel parking brake for motorized vehicles is disclosed. The parking brake is designed to be an integral feature of an essentially conventional drive axle housing. The novel parking brake comprises a sliding clutch shaft attached to a clutch element that, when actuated, engages a complimentary clutch element attached to the drive axle ring gear. Additional gear means prevent the engaged clutch shaft from rotating, and so, prevent the drive axle ring gear from rotating, in effect, securing the vehicle.
