ABSTRACT:
A drum brake device that functions as a leading-trailing (LT) type when the service brake is applied, and as a duo-servo (DS) type when the parking brake is applied, in which no strange noises are generated, nor is any impact load applied to any of the components, thus enabling a lighter device. The middle segment of a long link 11is pivotable in the middle of the one brake shoe 2. A shoe clearance adjustment device 12 is provided adjacent to a service brake actuator 8 between the other brake shoe 3 and the one end of the long link 11. A parking brake actuator 16 is provided adjacent to an anchor 9 and between the other brake shoe 3 and the other end of the long link 11. The force urging the second adjacent ends of the brake shoes toward each other, is greater than the force urging the first adjacent ends of the brake shoes toward each other.
