  • Dual acting brake actuator
    Patent number: 5168769
    Abstract: A braking mechanism linkage for use in a braking system can be applied by ther a service brake actuator or a parking brake actuator to brake a tracked vehicle. Each actuator when applied to the linkage results in a different type of linkage motion to apply a single brake. The parking brake mode has a locking mechanism associated therewith to keep the brake applied until released to prevent motion of the vehicle until the parking brake is released. The service braking mode returns to an unengaged position upon release of the actuator.
