ABSTRACT:
A dual mode drum brake assembly includes a backing plate, a brake drum, and first and second brake shoes supported on the backing plate and movable into frictional engagement with the brake drum. The drum brake assembly further includes a service brake mechanism for selectively moving the brake shoes into frictional engagement with the brake drum, and a rotation preventing abutment secured relative to the backing plate and disposed between and engageable with the brake shoes. A pivot lever is pivotally supported relative to the first brake shoe and is operatively coupled to exert an outward force on the first brake shoe when the parking and emergency brake is actuated. A first strut is disposed adjacent the hydraulic actuator and includes one end coupled to the second brake shoe and opposite end coupled to one end of the pivot lever. A second strut is disposed adjacent the rotation preventing abutment and includes one end coupled to the second brake shoe and an opposite end coupled to an opposite end of the pivot lever. The drum brake assembly further includes an actuation cable having an end portion supported in a generally perpendicular relationship relative to the backing plate, and a parking and emergency brake actuating means carried by the brake assembly and coupled to the actuation cable for mechanically actuating the pivot lever to urge the first brake shoe outwardly into engagement with the brake drum and thereby initiate duo-servo actuation of the parking and emergency brake through one of the first and second struts.
