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 18f of the brake lever 18 and a brake shoe 11. The bowfront portion 18f is formed between a primary seating 18e and a secondary seating 18g and is positioned apart from the primary seating 18e at an opening side of a U-shaped groove 18d. 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.
