ABSTRACT:
A tandem parking brake caliper system for use with the rotor of a disc brake of a wheel of an automotive vehicle. The system includes a caliper adapted to be slidably mounted in a boss of an anchor extension mounted to a non-rotating portion of the vehicle. The caliper surrounds a radially outer peripheral portion of the rotor on opposite sides thereof. Frictional brake linings are mounted on the caliper surfaces which face the rotor. A movable piston is mounted in a bore of the caliper for engaging one of the linings for forcing the linings into engagement with the rotor upon the application of force onto the piston and the resulting translation of the caliper. An actuating lever is rotatably mounted to the assembly and includes a cam surface for engaging and applying translating force to a cam follower surface of the piston. The lever is connected to a cable actuating the lever.
