Abstract
The problem of reliably locking an electrically actuated park brake is resolved through the use of a jaw-tooth clutch operatively installed between the shaft and the housing of a drive motor, for engaging the brake. The brake may be locked and unlocked by selectively engaging the jaw-tooth clutch either electrically or manually.
