<p>A side brake device, wherein a pivot of a lever (5) is pivotally supported rotatably on a fixed plate (3) located at an operator's seat side, a side brake wire (2) is fixed to one end of the lever and the one end of an elastic body (7) is fixed to the other end of it, the lever is energized by the elastic body so that it is always rotated in the direction to apply a side brake by pulling the side brake wire, a side brake lever (1) is installed so that it can be rotated by a fixed amount relative to the lever, a wire (10) is passed from one end of the side brake lever through the other end of the lever to an appropriate position of a door, and the lever is rotated downward against the energizing force of the elastic body so as to loosen the side brake wire and release the side brake, the lever is held by a holding means at the lever releasing position, holding by the holding means is released by the opening of the door or upward manual rotating operation of the side brake lever, and the lever is rotated in the direction that the side brake wire is tensed by the energizing force of the elastic body so as to firmly apply the side brake, whereby the side brake can be applied even by itself or the opening of the door.</p> |
