DEFINITION

Classification: 188/24.12

Including mechanism for opposed gripping of wheel rim or tire:

(under subclass 24.11) Apparatus including a pair of brake components (e.g., brake pads) carried by an actuating means (e.g., a caliper mechanism), wherein the actuating means is adapted to move the pair of brake components into opposed frictional engagement with sides of either a rim of the wheel or a tire mounted thereon.
