Patent number: 9267520Abstract: An apparatus and method for mounting a trailer/dolly air brake system module onto a mounting surface of a trailer/dolly using a mounting element. More particularly, a trailer/dolly air brake system module is mounted to an I-beam or C-channel of the trailer/dolly via welding methods, fasteners, or clamps. This allows the trailer/dolly air brake system module to be easily removable and replaceable, minimizing trailer/dolly down time as well as diagnostic troubleshooting/repair time. More particularly, the system module is for a trailer/dolly air brake system module. The method allows for continued use of a trailer/dolly vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2014Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: HALDEX BRAKE CORPORATIONInventors: Victor J. Raye, Jerry J. Donovan, James L. Greene
