Abstract
A braking device for braking the motion of cargo in a roller system for use in loading and unloading cargo has its main frame mounted on the loading floor. An arm assembly having a pair of opposing arms is pivotally supported on a shaft supported on the main frame near the center thereof, this shaft extending transversely of the longitudinal axis of the frame. A substantially flat brake pad made of a friction material is pivotally supported on the arms on one side of the longitudinal axis of the shaft. A roller wheel is pivotally supported between the arms on the side of the longitudinal axis of the shaft opposite to that on which the brake pad is supported.
