ABSTRACT:
An automatic parking brake cable tension adjustment apparatus includes a first connecting member attached by a cable to a brake handle, a first pivoting member, a second pivoting member, a mechanical linkage between the first and second pivoting member, and a second connecting member attached by a cable to a parking brake. As the brake cable becomes extended past a certain point, the first pivoting member contacts a fixed stop and pivots, thereby pivoting the second pivoting member. A threaded connection between the second pivoting member and the second connecting member rotates, automatically adjusting the tension of the brake cable.
