<p>A hand-operated brake consisting of a handle (3), which is pivoting to and from a neutral position in a pivot (4, 5) of a support (2), which handle (3) has a point of attachment (6) at a distance from the pivot (4, 5) for catching one end of a wire (8), which is surrounded by a tubular cover (14), the other end of the wire actuating a brake device. Normally, a first lever is used in order to perform normal braking and a second lever for performing a parking brake function. It is now suggested to use only one lever for the two functions by that the end of the tubular cover (14) which is close to the point of attachment, bears on a stop means (9), which is movable between two end positions within the support (2). The first end position is used when carrying out normal braking. The second end position is used for carrying out the parking brake function.</p> |
