Using the centrifugal force of the rotating tire! A wheel with a built-in brake system in the tire, gear, and case.
Heavy fixtures that gain speed accumulate significant kinetic energy and possess destructive power, which can lead to accidents involving the elderly and children. In response, our company has developed a mechanism that uses the centrifugal force generated by the rotating tires to apply brakes, solving this issue. When the tires accelerate rapidly due to sudden opening and closing, the brake pads open due to centrifugal force. The opened brake pads are pressed against the case from the inside, which suppresses movement, and this, through the gears, applies brakes to the rollers themselves, bringing the fixture to a stop. 【Conditions and Challenges】 ■ With an increasing number of residents desiring larger openings, doors and windows are trending towards larger sizes and heavier weights, which could turn sashes and doors that are meant to enhance comfort into dangerous objects. ■ Heavy fixtures that gain speed accumulate significant kinetic energy and possess destructive power, which can lead to accidents involving the elderly and children. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

basic information
**Concept and Mechanism Design** - Developed a mechanism that applies brakes using the centrifugal force generated by the rotating tires. - A wheel with a built-in brake device that includes tires, gears, and a case. - When the tires accelerate rapidly during sudden opening and closing, the centrifugal force causes the brake pads to open. - The opened brake pads are pressed against the case from the inside, which suppresses movement. - The brakes are applied to the wheel itself via gears, causing the fixture to come to a stop. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
