.~.~ With means for cooling brake
DEFINITION
Classification: 188/71.6
(under subclass 71.1) Apparatus provided with means for reducing in any or all parts of the apparatus defined in subclass 71.1 the heat rise that is caused by use of such apparatus.
(1) Note. It is inherent in any "spot-type" disc-brake (i.e., in which a friction pad of relatively small area is pressed against a rotating disc of relatively large area) that the portion of the disc not adjacent to the pad is exposed to ambient atmosphere and thus is cooled. To be placed in this subclass (71.6) a patent must therefore disclose structure (e.g., a cooling fan, a liquid-circulating system) specifically designated for a cooling function.
