ABSTRACT:
A parking brake cable assembly of the reaction conduit type is disclosed including a cable slack adjusting device connecting a second inner strand brake operating member with the floating reaction bracket that is displaced upon straightening of an initially bent conduit associated with a first inner strand brake operating member. The cable slack adjusting device includes a bracket housing containing a first opening that is connected with one end of the reaction conduit and that receives the first inner strand member, and a second opening that receives for free axial displacement a cylindrical end fitting that is connected at one end with the second inner strand member. The other end of the cylindrical end fitting is provided with an abutment against which one end of a compression spring abuts. The other end of the compression spring engages a quick-release adjustment or lock-out knob that is operable to a disengaged condition in which the compression spring expands to remove slack from the cable.
