ABSTRACT:
Parking brake, in particular for a wheelchair, with a pressing element (10) articulated by a pivoting lever (8) coupled to a retainer (12) mounted to the wheelchair frame. The pivoting lever (8) is tiltable by swiveling a hand brake lever (7) into an engaged position, in which the pressing element (10) exerts force against a wheel (2). In addition, a resetting-force-applying element is set under a pre-load against the pivoting lever (8) to return the pivoting lever (8) to a neutral position when the hand brake is released, characterized by the fact that the resetting-force-applying element is a flexible bendable element (6) formed from a frame cover (5) fastened to the retainer (12).
