A parking brake of a motor vehicle is operable by a pedal lever through a cable linkage which is attached to a ratchet-adjustable anchorage, movement of the pedal being rendered unidirectional by a pawl and ratchet device which is engaged until the pawl is disengaged by the driver, so that until the pawl is released, either mechanically or electromagnetically, the brake pedal lever is prevented from release after the parking brake has been applied, the brake control mechanism acting in effect as an anti-theft parking brake. When the pawl is released the mechanism acts as an emergency brake. |
