Definitions
- This invention relates to the brake shoe pads (non-metallic) system applied in all fields of automotives, viz: motor cycle, passenger motor vehicle, load carrying trucks, railway trucks and aeroplanes.
- said invention has the advantage of warning a driver in the following cases:-
- the hand brake signal indicator commonly fails due to the burning out of indicator light bulb, or ryst or damage at the hand lever contact switch, or simply a slight displacement of the hand lever switch which will give an indication that the brake is released while it is still touching the drum s).
- the hand brake signal indicator works only on 2 wheels and not wheels and if the other two brake shoes are touching the drums due to poor adjustment or maintenance, said indicator would not indicate this action.
- the brake shoe wear warning device is usually not a very accurate measure of the thickness of the actual shoes themselves and once again, it is usually an indication for two wheels only.
- PROBLEMS REQUIRING THIS INVENTION It has been found in practice that in many cases, such as a motor vehicle's braking shoes locking into a braking position , the resulting friction causes a build up of extreme heat causing an increase in petrol consumption and consequently causes quicker wear in tyres and also in many cases may result in the ignition of the brake fluid followed by ignition of tyres and possibly the entire vehicle.
- the invention described herein utilises the brake shoe lining itself to give the warning signals In the case of a locking or jamming position and in the case of wear of the shoe pad itself. This is carried out by using two different lengths of any size or shape of soft conducting material or alloy such as aluminium, copper, lead, or graphite.
- Said two conductors are implanted in or alongside the shoe pad itself in any location, although the middle of the shoe is preferred, in the form of a wire or thin metal foil so as to be used as electrical conductors when touching the disc,..wheel or wheel drums.
- Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a motor vehicle brake shoe pad with the attached wire or foil sensors in ppsition.
- Figure 2 is a schematic illustration of a railway train brake shoe pad with the attached wire or foil sensors in position.
- Figure 3 represents a schematic perspective view of a car braking system in the pad wear position A and in the case of locking position B.
- Figure - illustrates the braking system for a railway and shows the pad wear position A and locking position B.
- Figure 5 represents the logic flow of the system.
- the brake shoe pads 1 shown in Figures 1 and 2 are usually attached to the metal brake shoes 2 by riveting or special adhesive.
- the sensors are in the form of wires 3 and of any form or shape, separated or coaxial shape and placed in a central place or alongside the pad; said sensors may also be made In the form of metal strips 5 and 6 adhered to the pad.
- the sensors 3,4,5, and 6 are manufactured from any soft but conductive material so as not to mark any wheels, discs or wheel drums.
- the long wire 3 or strip 5 will touch the brake drum or the wheel as in Figure 3 (B) and Figure (B) and due to the non existence of any rust or particles in these areas, said sensors 3 or 5 will cause an electrical short circuit, but with a simple electric switch with the braking light system, a cancellation signal is given so as to prevent the appearance of any false warning lights or sound.
- V vnto The same principle is applied in the case of wear in braking pad reaching a low level, hereby the sensor wire or metal 6 will touch the wheel, disc or the wheel drum, short-circuiting the electric power and giving a direct signal to the driver.
- This signal is indepen- dent from said brake signaling synchronisation and appears when braking as well as when a locking in the brake occurs, and in such a case, the driver receives two independent signals for brake locking and for brake shoe pad wear.
- Wires connected from the brake pad(s) under the car, trailer, , train or aeroplane, are usually made of heavy duty type to withstand any movement or heat.
- the Main -Advantages In This Invention are:- 1- Road, railway and aviation safety increases. 2- Less damage in all types of vehicles and railway carriages and an increase in productivity due to less time being lost with repairs.

Abstract
Des coussinets de sabot pour tout type de véhicules de transport sont modifiés en faisant travailler le coussinet lui-même (1) comme conducteur pour transférer un signal électrique lors du contact avec la roue, le tambour ou le disque. Le signal produit est utilisé comme avertissement en cas de blocage du frein ou en cas d'usure du coussinet. La modification est exécutée simplement en plaçant des fils conducteurs mous (3) et (4) ou des bandes métalliques molles conductrices (5) et (6) dans le coussinet ou sur celui-ci sans toucher le sabot métallique (2). Le fil (3) ou métal (5) long produit un signal en touchant la roue tandis que le fil (4) ou métal (6) court crée un signal indiquant le niveau d'usure, également en touchant la roue. Les signaux provenant de (3) et (5) sont synchronisés avec le mouvement de freinage de manière à annuler ces signaux pendant le freinage normal afin d'éviter tout déclenchement incorrect d'un signal d'avertissement.Hoof pads for all types of transport vehicles are modified by making the pad itself (1) work as a conductor for transferring an electrical signal upon contact with the wheel, drum or disc. The signal produced is used as a warning in the event of a brake lock or if the pad is worn. The modification is carried out simply by placing soft conductive wires (3) and (4) or soft conductive metal bands (5) and (6) in or on the pad without touching the metal shoe (2). The long wire (3) or metal (5) produces a signal by touching the wheel while the short wire (4) or metal (6) creates a signal indicating the level of wear, also by touching the wheel. The signals from (3) and (5) are synchronized with the braking movement so as to cancel these signals during normal braking in order to avoid incorrect triggering of a warning signal.
