ABSTRACT:
A brake control mechanism is adapted to operate trailer brakes in an overrun manner, and to incorporate a handbrake mechanism. A draw shaft of a towing coupling acts on a first arm of an overrun brake link, which has a second arm on which there is provided a connection point for a brake rod. When the brakes are actuated in an overrun manner, the brake link is activated by the draw shaft and pivots about a first pivot point. When the handbrake mechanism is activated, the overrun brake link is caused to pivot about a second pivot point, such that the maximum travel of the aforementioned connection point for the brake rod is greater than in an overrun braking action. The overrun brake link is resiliently biased into a brake actuating position.
