SPRING-APPLIED DISC BRAKE ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A disc brake is disclosed which has a spring actuator in addition to the usual hydraulic actuator. When the brake is functioning normally, fluid pressure opposes the spring actuator to permit normal hydraulic opera- tion of the brake. However, when a malfunction in the vehicle's hydraulic system prevents operation of the hydraulic actuator, the spring actuator automatically applies the brake to immobilize the vehicle. A mechanical release mechanism for the spring actuator is provided so that the vehicle may be moved if the spring actuator applies the brake in an inconvenient location. The spring actuator may also be used as a parking brake.
