    Abstract: A brake shoe for a drum brake is provided that improves the direction of the brake actuating forces to reduce stress, improve efficiency and permit thicker brake linings. The brake shoe has a web having first and second ends with the first end configured for pivotally coupling to an associated brake spider. A brake table is supported on the web. The second end of the web is configured to engage an associated cam follower that causes the brake shoe to move between positions of engagement and disengagement with an associated braking surface at either of first and second radially offset positions on the second end of the web such that the cam followers can engage two brake shoes in the brake at offset positions and improve the direction of the force vectors.

    Abstract: An improved bracket assembly for receiving a brake assembly and a brake actuator is provided. The bracket assembly includes a tube configured to receive a camshaft of the brake assembly and an actuator mounting bracket disposed proximate a first end of the tube. The actuator mounting bracket is configured for coupling to the actuator and defines an aperture configured to receive the tube. The bracket assembly further includes a brake spider mounting bracket disposed proximate a second end of the tube. The spider mounting bracket includes a body defining inboard and outboard sides, is configured to receive a brake spider on the outboard side and defines an aperture configured to allow the tube to extend therethrough. The spider mounting bracket further includes a neck extending from the inboard side of the body that is configured to receive the tube and positions the weld away from the body to reduce stress.

    Abstract: The invention is for automatic slack adjuster for an automobile with a housing having an aperture for receiving a brake cam shaft comprising of a worm gear coaxially mounted within the said housing aperture and configured to coaxially engage the brake cam shaft, such that the said worm gear and said cam shaft rotating together about a first axis. The arrangement has a bore with a single open end for receiving a worm clutch shaft. The said worm clutch shaft is mounted in the said housing to rotate about a second axis, which is perpendicular to first axis. The invention has only one side opening. The thrust load from the worm shaft is transferred through the thrust bush through the main housing of the assembly.

    Abstract: A vehicle braking system includes a piston rod extendable from an air brake chamber, a rotatable cam shaft, and a slack adjuster coupled to the piston rod and the cam shaft. The slack adjuster is configured to rotate the cam shaft as the piston rod extends. The slack adjuster has a control gear coupled to the cam shaft such that the control gear rotates as the cam shaft is rotated. A pinion gear meshes with the control gear such that the pinion gear rotates as the control gear rotates, and a take-off gear meshes with the pinion gear such that the take-off gear rotates as the control gear rotates. A magnet coupled to the take-off gear is configured to rotate as the take-off gear rotates. A sensor is configured to sense rotation of the magnet, and an indicator is configured to indicate brake stroke of the piston rod.
