Rib′bon-brake.

A brake having a band which nearly surrounds the wheel whose motion is to be checked. One end is made fast and the other is attached to the short arm of a bent lever, by means of which it may be at once applied to the greater part of the periphery of the wheel, exerting a frictional pressure proportionate to the force applied to the lever.
