Abstract
An anti-locking mechanism includes an assembly attached to move with a wheel of a vehicle. The assembly includes a spring biased inertia wheel movably mounted to a manifold. A valve connected to control the application of braking pressure is normally held closed when the inertia wheel and manifold are rotated at the same rate by the wheel. When the vehicle wheel is decelerated at an excessive rate, the inertia wheel overcomes the bias of the spring and continues to rotate about the manifold to open the valve and prevent braking pressure from being applied to the wheel.
