ABSTRACT:
A braking device for bicycles and the like comprising a double pair of yoke elements stamped of sheet plate material having appropriate lightening holes and component element mounting holes provided therewith. A pair of suitably mounted brake pad structures are adjustably mounted from slots in the main body portion of the respective pairs of yoke plates. One of said brake pads can be mounted on a suitable hydraulically actuated slave unit and/or the other operator controlled brake actuation mechanism. The other brake pad is mounted on a slidable movable shaft which is spring biased in the released or non-actuated position. An off-center cam lever moves the parking brake pad into actuated position with a bicycle wheel, or disengages same therefrom. An off-center cam structure mounted adjacent the pivot point of the pairs of yoke plates provides for a wide open, quick release operation of the overall device to permit removal of a brake wheel and tire without other modification or disassembly of the braking device.
