Brake cable connecting apparatus for a drum brake device

摘要

A cable disengagement prevention configuration for a drum brake device that provides a simple and safe connection of a brake cable to a brake lever and reliably prevents disengagement of the brake cable after connecting the brake cable to the brake lever. The cable disengagement prevention configuration mainly comprises a bowfront portion ( 18 f) of the brake lever ( 18 ) and a brake shoe ( 11 ). The bowfront portion ( 18 f) is formed between a primary seating ( 18 e) and a secondary seating ( 18 g) and is positioned apart from the primary seating ( 18 e) at an opening side of a U-shaped groove ( 18 d). The cable disengagement prevention configuration allows a cable end fitting ( 28 ) to pass through a gap between the brake lever ( 18 ) and the brake shoe ( 11 ) only when rotating the brake lever ( 18 ).
