ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a braking lever assembly, more particularly, to a braking mechanism assembly for a motorcycle or bicycle in which the braking mechanisms of both the front and rear wheels can be simultaneously and synchronously actuated to ensure a safe and effective braking. As a result, driving safety can be properly ensured. The braking lever assembly generally comprises a mounting socket and a braking lever which is pivotally attached to the mounting socket. The mounting socket is provided with a pair of guiding holes for the braking cables. The braking lever is pivotally connected with a pulling rod by a 8-shape plate and the pulling rod in turn is provided with a pair of positioning holes for pivotally attaching the anchoring head of the braking cables therein. Wherein when the braking lever is depressed, the 8-shape plate together with the pulling rod are pulled backward such that the braking cables are pulled backward to actuate the braking mechanism for both the front and rear wheels. The wearing of the lining of each braking mechanism can be automatically adjusted and compensated by the shifting of the pulling rod which is pivotally attached to the 8-shape plate. Consequently, the front and rear braking mechanisms can be simultaneously actuated with equal braking force to ensure riding safety.
