A multi-member, variable configuration template (100) is provided as an aid for determining acceptable brake assembly mounting variables for an air operated, cam actuated brake assembly to be mounted on a vehicle of known configuration. The template comprises a first member (102) corresponding to the brake spider, a second member (104) corresponding to the air chamber mounting bracket, a third member (106) corresponding to the air chamber and a fourth member (108) corresponding to the slack adjuster. The second and fourth members are pivotably connected to the first member about a point (110) corresponding to the axis of the brake actuating cam, the third member is slidably mounted on the second member and the third member is removably connectable to the fourth member at a series of points on the fourth member. Various arrays (112, 116, 120 and 124) are provided to determine the brake assembly mounting variables corresponding to a particular template configuration. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In accordance with the present invention, the drawbacks of the prior art have been overcome to the extent that a multi-piece, variable configuration template is provided which will allow a designer having a scale drawing of a vehicle to quickly and easily determine the acceptable and/or optimal brake assembly mounting variables for the brake assembly to be mounted on the vehicle.
The above is accomplished by providing a multi-piece, variable configuration template, preferably of a relatively thin, relatively clear or translucent material, such as sheet plastic or plexiglass.
Each piece or member of the template is in the shape of the two dimensional outline of a member of the brake assembly and/or has the outline of a member of the brake assembly, such as the brake spider, the slack adjuster, the air chamber mounting bracket and the air chamber, marked thereon.
The template members representing members of the brake assembly are of the same scale as the scale drawing of the vehicle to be utilized by the designer.
The template members representing the shape of the air chamber mounting bracket and the slack adjuster are rotatably mounted to the template member representing the shape of the spider at the point thereof corresponding to the axis of rotation of the actuating cam.
The template member representing the shape of the air chamber is slidably mounted to the template member representing the air chamber mounting bracket and is removably mountable to the template member representing the slack adjuster at various points representing various slack adjuster lengths.
The template member representing the slack adjuster, when connected to the template member representing the air chamber, will represent the position of the slack adjuster in the fully extended condition of the air chamber.
The various template members carry indicia marks indicating the relative assembly mounting variables at which the members are set and preferably will also carry indicia marks indicating the settings of the variables corresponding to commercially available standard variable settings
