DEVICE FOR OPERATING VEHICULAR PARKING BRAKE

摘要

An operation device for a vehicle parking brake, which includes: support bracket fixed to vehicle body and having a pair of first and second side plates, which face each other with predetermined interval therebetween; operation pedal supported between first and second side plates of support bracket so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis; and return spring having one end portion hooked on operation pedal and other end portion hooked on first side plate and winding portion located between ends portions and wound about pivot axis and that biases operation pedal toward original position, and which operation pedal is operated to pivot about pivot axis, so a parking brake cable is subjected to tensile force, thereby operating parking brake, one of end portions of return spring being bent and formed so as to bias a pedal pad of operation pedal toward first or second side plate.
