AUTOMATIC REGULATING STRUT FOR A DRUM BRAKE

摘要

The strut body (5) is made as a single piece by casting and incorporates a main elongated portion (15), an enlarged end forming a head (16) through which a bore (17) passes, which is partially closed peripherally (18) and which extends into the main portion so as to house the screw of an associated screw and nut system, one end forming a hook (19) and at least one protuberance (28) projecting relative to an outside surface which is essentially flat (27) so as to allow an elastic leaf to be mounted on the body (5) by crimping, the elastic leaf carrying a ratchet cooperating with the external teeth of a nut of the screw and nut system.
