ABSTRACT:
An actuating mechanism for a parking brake includes a bearing block and a handbrake lever positioned pivoting on the bearing block. A brake setting device includes a locking segment secured to the bearing block and a movably positioned locking pawl which has an edge segment facing the locking segment. An actuating linkage is positioned inside the handbrake lever and includes a web to connect the actuating linkage to the locking pawl. The web rests on the edge segment. A spring loaded push button is movable counter to a spring force to activate the actuating linkage. A catch spring is arranged to secure the locking pawl by a force of the catch spring in an engaged position on the locking segment. During actuation of the actuating linkage by the push button, a force counter to the force of the catch spring is exerted by the web onto the locking pawl, thereby causing the locking pawl to be separated from the locking segment.
