ABSTRACT:
A self-adjusting hand brake assembly comprises a rack mounting a carriage biased for movement lengthwise thereof in direction by a spring. A pawl on the carriage engages the rack to retain the carriage in position. An anchor member is movable lengthwise of the rack and carriage, and comprises a member to which a brake-operating link is attached. A lever pivotted on the carriage is operable to move the member in direction to apply the brake. The member is retained in position by a pawl engaging the rack, which can be released by a button operating through a linkage to release the brake. The spring is of strength sufficient to take up slack in the brake linkage but insufficient to apply the brakes.
