ABSTRACT:
A swivel for connecting a cable to a lever of a parking brake release mechanism is made as a unitary sheet metal stamping having a flat body portion, an end flange projecting laterally from one end of the body portion and parallel side flanges projecting laterally from the side edges of the body portion with the side flanges merging with the side edges of the end flange. The end flange is perpendicular to the body portion and each side flange is perpendicular both to the body portion and to the end flange. The opposite end of the body portion is pivotally connected to the lever and an enlarged head on the end of the cable is inserted through a window in the body portion and then the cable is moved through a slot in the body portion to a connecting slot in the end flange so that the head on the cable bears against the end flange.
