ABSTRACT:
An automatic adjuster comprises a mechanism of adjustable length operative between a hydraulic brake piston and either a cylinder or an opposed piston. A cam journalled in the cylinder or the opposed piston serves to apply the brake mechanically (hand brake) and act as a stop for the mechanism. The adjustable length mechanism comprises two members, one of which may be the first mentioned piston in interengagement with one another through a non-reversible screw-thread connection. A reversible screw-thread connection or a reversible face cam is provided for turning one member of the mechanism relatively to the other responsively to excessive piston travel to effect adjustment.
