<p>A toggle type parking brake lever apparatus capable of surely holding a brake lever (12) at a brake application position is provided. Attached to the brake lever is a pivotable stopper pawl (33), with which a stopper surface (34) formed on a stopper plate (32) is adapted to be engaged in a brake application condition so as to inhibit the brake lever from being turned in a brake releasing direction. A stopper releasing rod (35) with a push button (37) is provided longitudinally of the brake lever to pivot the stopper pawl (33), thereby to disengage the stopper pawl from the stopped face (34). The invention is also applicable to a brake lever which is supported to a lever bracket, tiltably back and forth, and left and right, by means of a universal joint. <IMAGE></p> |
