ABSTRACT:
A cam actuated brake adjuster reduces automatically the clearance between the brake lining and the brake drum which exists when the brakes are released, if this clearance exceeds a predetermined value. A one-way drive mechanism which adjusts the angular position of a camshaft with the aid of a worm gear is actuated by an adjusting rod assembly, which yields to a given adjusting force corresponding to a given brake force, to prevent an excessive adjustment which might result from a drum distortion caused by the application of a great braking force.
