ABSTRACT:
A drum brake assembly having a parking brake actuating lever is so arranged that the parking brake cable end may be assembled in a blind fashion to the end of the actuating lever. The cable is provided with a button. The lever has a return spring which has one end attached to the lever and the other spring secured to the backing plate about a parking brake cable opening through the backing plate. The spring end attached to the lever has a retaining ramp and a hook end, the retaining ramp being above an open channel formed on the lever end and the hook end being secured to the lever one end above the channel. The cable button is inserted axially through the backing plate opening provided for the cable and through the spring, being guided by that spring, to a point above the channel open receiving end. Further axial insertive movement of the button causes the button and the cable to be deflected upwardly by the channel edge surface ramp portion and the sides of the backing plate and the lever, side loading the cable. The button passes the end of the ramp portion and the channel open other end, the stored force in the cable because of the side loading moves the cable downwardly in the channel, so that as the cable is then tensioned the lever will be moved to actuate the brake.
