FOOT BRAKE FOR PROPULSION VEHICLES

摘要

A foot-operated parking brake eliminates the need for hand disengagement. A J-bar element 14 pivots to engage pegs 20 against the tires 22 of the propulsion unit 10. The J-bar 14 has a pivotable pedal assembly 24 mounted thereon which may releasably engage a latch plate 30 mounted on the frame 12. The operator may release the brake by pressing the lower portion of the pedal 26 with his or her heel.
