Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JP4397080

Kind Code:

B2

Abstract:

A device for engaging or disengaging an end fitting of a control cable to or from a lever in a drum brake or the like is arranged to be shorter but to have a large lever ratio for the lever. A shoe is engaged with one end of a strut, and the lever is pivotally journalled to the other end of the strut while another shoe is engaged with the lever at a portion near to the journalled part. The strut has two opposed side walls and a bridge part therebetween for restraining the lever at a specified position. The lever is composed of a pair of planer members which are joined together at the proximal end, and are spaced apart from each other at the free end to form a narrow gap and at the longitudinally middle portion to form a wide gap. The narrow gap allows a cable itself of the cable to pass therethrough but to inhibit from passing therethrough and the wide gap allows a longer side of the end fitting to pass therethrough. The planar members are formed with protrusions defining a gap therebetween a size of which is smaller than the length of the longer side of the end fitting. Upon engaging the end fitting, it is inserted through the wide gap to abut against the protrusions, and then, shifted toward the free end of the lever to be engaged with the free end of the lever.
