Brake cable connecting apparatus for drum brake

摘要

A brake cable connecting apparatus ensures prevention of brake cable disengagement by a simple structure that offers simple and accurate assemblability. The brake cable connecting apparatus comprises the strut 23 engaging with the brake shoe 12 and the plate-like brake lever engaging with the brake shoe 13. The proximal portion 24a of the brake lever 24 is pivotally positioned in the wider space 23c formed between the two facing surface walls of the strut 23. The cable end 42 of the brake cable 40 is connected with the free end 24e of the brake lever 24 by the connecting pin 43. The inner cable 41 is operated to effectuate braking, and the projection 24g of the free end 24e interferes with the resilient stopper 33 of the resilient member 30 mounted on the strut 23 and is positioned on the rotating trajection of the brake lever 24. <IMAGE>
