<p>The shoe hold down spring (40) comprises a single wave form or serpentine shaped leaf spring (40) which is engaged at opposite ends (42, 44) by hold down pins (53, 55) of a drum brake. The hold down pins (53, 55) are connected with the backing plate (12) and extend through respective openings (21, 23) within a brake shoe web (20). The hold down spring (40) includes opposite ends (42, 44) and a middle portion (41) all of which extend away and are spaced-apart from the shoe web (20), and two intermediate curved portions (47, 49) which engage the web (20). The opposite ends (42, 44) of the hold down spring (40) have slots (43, 45) extending inwardly from spring edges (42A, 44A), and small curved recesses (42B, 44B) which effect securement of ends (53A, 55A) of the pins (53, 55) to the spring (40). The pins (53, 55) have laterally extending wings (53B, 55B) at the pin ends (53A, 55A) which are received within the small curved recesses (42A, 44A) at the respective ends (42, 44) of the spring (40).</p> |
