Brake device with lever, crank, spring, and arm

摘要

The present invention relates to a device for mounting a brake shoe (2) at a wheel (8) which is to be braked by the brake shoe (2), and for switching the brake shoe from a braking position to a release position, a lever (1) being mounted on a frame portion (7) in order to be pivotal about a mounting shaft (6) and carrying the brake shoe at its other end. A further arm (9) is moreover pivotal about the shaft (6) and carries a crank (10) at its opposing end, whose proximal end in relation to the brake shoe (2) is spring-connected to the lever (1), while the opposing end is connected to an operating member for the desired switching of the brake shoe (2).
