ABSTRACT:
An arrangement of braking cables of a parking brake system of automobile in which a pair of parking brake cables are connected at their one ends to an equalizer which in turn is connected through a wire to a parking brake lever, while the other ends of the parking brake cables are extended through a floor tunnel and are supported by shelves of different heights formed on a cable supporting bracket disposed at the outlet side of the floor tunnel. The parking brakes are slidably guided by and curved along the shelves at a large radius of curvature to extend toward respective rear wheel brakes in a crossing manner but without interfering with each other. Thanks to the large radius of curvature, the cables can operate at a high operation efficiency and can have an improved durability to make an efficient transmission of force to the rear wheel brakes. In consequence, it is allowed to reduce the cross-sectional area of the floor tunnel to preserve a large flat floor space, while permitting the fuel tank to have a large capacity and be located as close as possible to the outlet of the floor tunnel.
