Title:
自動ケーブルラッチ動作を行うパーキングブレーキアセンブリ
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4828825
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A parking brake assembly which includes a lever ( 15 ) for operation of a brake shoe ( 11, 12 ) to provide a parking function, the lever carrying an automatic latching device for automatically latching to the lever an end fitting ( 20 ) on an operating cable ( 19 ) and a guide spring ( 25 ) extending from an associated brake backplate ( 13 ) into contact with the lever. The automatic latching device is in the form of a latching member ( 22 ) mounted on the lever which is deflected aside by the end fitting as the cable is fed in a first direction towards the lever within the guide spring and which latches behind an abutment ( 20 a) on the end fitting to latch the cable to the lever so that subsequent movement of the cable in a second direction opposite to the first direction moves the lever to operate the parking function. The end ( 25 a) of the guide spring (25) which contacts the lever ( 15 ) is shaped ( 25 c) to also act on the latching member ( 22 ) to bias the latching member towards the position in which it latches behind the abutment ( 20 a) on the end fitting ( 20 ).
