| Abstract | ABSTRACT An Improved Agricultural Disc Brake Assembly having an actuating unit (1) lined friction disc (2) assembled on bull carrier (5) through bull shaft (4) a transmission body (6) cover housing (8) and bolts (7) for fitting cover housing (8). |
| Full Text | This invention relates to an improved agricultural tractor disc brake assembly. The disc brake assembly presently in use has few disadvantages. While assembling the disc brake, the parts of the disc brake assembly are not visible, like splines on friction discs and during matching of the bull shaft to the bull carrier. The existing disc brake assembly requires considerable time for assembling the parts due to trial and error of fitments at tractor assembly line. Further, while servicing the brake assembly, which is quite heavy, it has to be removed fully and thereafter refitted. One of the aims of the present invention is to provide easier assembly due to the brake parts being visible while assembling which ensures a fool proof assembly. Another advantage of the present invention is that it provides quicker, easier and correct assembly, which helps in increase of productivity and lesser fatigue to operators. Further, servicing of the brake assembly of the invention is quite easy and takes less time and very little skill is required to carry out the job. According to the invention, there is provided an agricultural tractor disc assembly, comprising of an actuating unit, lined friction disc and housing all assembled on the bull carrier through bull shaft, a transmission body, and a cover housing fixed to the entire assembly and bolted. The invention will now be described by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings. As it is felt that a comparison of the agricultural tractor disc assembly presently in use and the disc assembly of the invention would provide a better understanding of the invention, drawings of both are given. Figure 1 represents the existing disc assembly and Figure II represents the disc assembly of the invention. In Figure I, the actuating Unit (1) lined friction disc assembly (2) and housing (3) are assembled on the bull carrier (5) through bull shaft (4). There is a transmission body (6) and a bolt (7). In this assembly the brake parts are not visible while assembling the brake. Figure II represents the disc assembly of the present invention. In this assembly also the actuating unit (1) the lined friction disc assembly (2) and housing (3) are assembled on the bull carrier (5) through the bull shaft (4). Housing (3) is fixed to the bull carrier by a dowel or Grub screw. The transmission body and the bolt are represented by the numbers (6) and (7) respectively. An additional feature is the cover housing (8) which is assembled finally and bolted by bolt (7). The use of cover housing (8) enables easy visibility of brake parts which facilitates easier quicker and correct assembly, increase in productivity and less fatigue to operators and easy servicing. There is no need to remove the brake assembly which is heavy and to refit. WE CLAIM, 1. An Agricultural Tractor Disc Brake Assembly comprising of an actuating unit (1) lined friction disc (2) and a housing (3) all assembled on the bull carrier (5) through bull shaft (4) a transmission body (6) and another housing called cover housing (8) which is fitted finally with bolts (7) characterized in that the housing consists of housing (3) and a cover housing (8). 2. A Disc Brake Assembly substantially as illustrated and described herein with reference to Figure No.2 of the accompanying drawings. |
