  • Patent number: 5791441
    Abstract: A truck brake monitoring system comprises a signal producing sensor mechanism for each brake, each sensor mechanism having a main body member mounted on a respective brake, and with an actuation member of each sensor mechanism positioned with respect to the respective brake actuating mechanism so as to be actuatable by the respective brake actuating mechanism, when the respective brake is operated, for reversible operation between a rest configuration to a sensing configuration whereat a threshold signal is produced, such that when the brake actuating mechanism reaches a threshold limit of travel corresponding to one of malfunction of the braking system and a threshold brake pad thickness below which thickness the brake pad is considered unsafe, the sensing configuration of the signal producing sensor mechanism is realized, and the threshold signal is produced.
