ABSTRACT:
The present disclosure describes a multi-stroke parking brake control that includes a pulley connected to a parking brake cable and a brake pedal arranged to drive the pulley. The pulley has a large gear in mesh engagement with a driving pinion supported by the brake pedal and a holding pinion supported by the control housing. A one-way helical spring clutch drivingly interconnects the driving pinion and the pedal when the pedal is moved in a direction to tension the brake cable. A similar spring cable interconnects the holding pinion and the housing and functions to hold the gear and pulley in a brake applied condition. A release mechanism is arranged to release the second one-way helical spring clutch to permit the pulley and brake cable to move to a released position under the force of a release spring. This construction of a parking brake control permits the brake pedal to be stroked a plurality of times to tension the brake cable as desired.
