Device for disengaging electric motor brake
View Patent ↗A motor and brake assembly having a disengaging mechanism for use with RV's are disclosed. The assembly includes a motor and a disengaging mechanism that is mounted thereon. The disengaging mechanism includes a motor mount comprised of a cylindrical piece with a plurality of holes disposed on the periphery of an outer flange of the cylindrical piece. The cylindrical piece extends over the barrel of the motor and is secured to the barrel with a plurality of screws. Through manipulation of the cylindrical piece, the user can selectively engage or disengage the brake from the motor.
1. A motor brake assembly for a slide out mechanism comprising:
a motor;
a brake disposed on said motor and movable between a coupled position and an uncoupled position;
a bias member urging said brake towards said coupled position; and
a plate positioned between said brake and said motor, said plate being movable to hold said brake in said uncoupled position against a force of said biasing member;
wherein said plate further comprises a body section and a plurality of arm sections;
wherein said plurality of arm sections are angled from said body section;
wherein said plurality of arm sections are angled in a direction upwardly from said body section;
wherein said plurality of arm sections each include a slot;
wherein said slots are each positioned to receive one of a plurality of bolts, said bolts fixed to said motor.
2. The motor brake assembly of claim 1 , wherein said brake is connected to said motor through said plurality of bolts.
3. The motor brake assembly of claim 2 , wherein said bias member is disposed on at least one of said plurality of bolts.
4. A brake assembly for a motor of a slide-out mechanism of a vehicle comprising:
a slide-out mechanism coupled to move a room of a slide-out vehicle;
a motor coupled to said slide-out vehicle, said motor including an external brake coupling member;
a framework disposed on said motor;
a brake elastically disposed on said framework and movable between a first position coupled to said brake coupling member and a second position disengaged from said brake coupling member;
a brake disengagement member disposed on said framework between said brake and said motor, said brake disengagement member shaped to selectively increase a distance between said brake and said motor and thereby move said brake between said first position and said second position;
wherein said brake disengagement member is a plate including a plurality of curved areas;
wherein said curved areas each include an aperture through which a portion of said framework is disposed.
5. The brake assembly of claim 4 , wherein said curved areas are angled towards said motor.
6. The brake assembly of claim 4 , wherein said curved areas are angled towards said brake.
7. The brake assembly of claim 4 , wherein said apertures of said curved areas are shaped to allow rotational movement of said brake disengagement member.
8. The brake assembly of claim 4 , further comprising springs disposed on said framework to bias said brake towards said motor.
