Handbremse mit Diebstahlschutz.

摘要

In an anti-theft hand brake arrangement for a motor vehicle having a ratchet release mechanism operable by a push button (1), exposed at the end of a handbrake lever, the push-button incorporates a cylinder lock. In the locked condition, the push-button may still be depressed, but without acting on the ratchet release mechanism, whilst in the unlocked condition an abutment member (12) at the inner end of the push-button (1) is so positioned as to engage a release member (6) of the ratchet release mechanism when the push-button is depressed, thereby to release the brake ratchet.
