ABSTRACT:
The invention pertains to an automatic brake slack adjuster wherein incremental vehicle brake adjustments are automatically produced as brake lining wear occurs. The novel features include the simplification of structure, the provision of preadjustment including a drive gear which is automatically disengaged from a worm gear upon the placing of a wrench upon an adjustment shaft to simplify preadjustment, and a universal bracket is utilized permitting the adjuster to be readily employed with a wide variety of vehicle brake rod structures eliminating the need for special fittings and modifications.
