  • Bending brake carrier locking mechanism and method
    Patent number: 7762116
    Abstract: A bending brake includes a rotating carrier that is rotatable about a rotation axis. The carrier has first and second upper jaws connected thereto at different angular locations about the rotation axis. A locking mechanism for preventing rotation of the carrier during operation of the bending brake includes an endplate forming a pocket, the endplate disposed adjacent to a distal end of the carrier. A latch having a trigger portion is pivotally connected to the endplate and located within the pocket such that the trigger portion protrudes from the pocket. A toothed cam wheel rotating with the carrier has at least one tooth formed thereon that engages the trigger portion of the latch to prevent rotation of the carrier in one direction at preselected angular positions corresponding to the first and second upper jaws.
