Automatic brake incline (Brembergbrake)

Abstract

When hauling coal along a brake incline with an endless chain or rope, it is sometimes necessary to use such an organization in which the number of trolleys located on the incline constantly changes. This happens, for example, when supplying coal from different horizons. Under the influence of a changing load on the rope from a different number of trolleys attached to it, their speed of movement would have to change. To prevent this, various devices are installed at the end pulley, which regulate the speed. So, for example, a brake of any system is installed, and the speed is regulated by the person in charge. These brakes did not live up to the expectations placed on them. The path was constantly clogged, resistance increased, and the incline with such a device refused to act. I propose to use an automatic the brake incline, which I invented in these cases, as it does not have the disadvantage indicated above. Speed adjustment is achieved automatically under the influence of increasing load on the rope. Its main qualities are the simplicity of the device, low cost, and durability.
