An object of the invention is to provide a brake apparatus which can facilitate slope starting and slope climbing and which can be produced small in size and light in weight. In addition, another object of the invention is to provide a brake apparatus which can obtain a stable brake force under any conditions including running in the rain. The invention provides a brake apparatus in which a restriction is imposed on the rotation of a wheel () via a brake drum () provided on a rotational shaft of the wheel () so as to rotate together with the rotational shaft, the brake apparatus being characterized by comprising a brake shoe () for imposing a restriction on the rotation of the brake drum () in a forward or backward direction through wedge engagement with an inner circumferential surface of the brake drum () when the brake drum () rotates either in the forward direction or in the backward.

Brake system

A joystick includes an operating member, which has shaft portions respectively protruded from both side faces thereof, an upper rotary member, which supports the operating member so as to be pivotable in a first direction, a lower rotary member, which supports the operating member so as to be pivotable in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and an urging member, which urges the lower rotary member and the upper rotary member so that the operating member is situated at a neutral position thereof. The lower rotary member has an elongated hole through which the operating member is passed, and the elongated hole extended in the first direction. The shaft portions are rotatably engaged in shaft holes which are formed in side walls of the elongated hole. Expansion parts are formed on the operating member so as to expand within the elongated hole in the first direction. The operating member rotates through the shaft portions so that both side faces of each expansion part slide along both inner wall faces of the elongated hole.

Joystick

A joystick includes an operating stick having shaft portions protruded from a lower end thereof, an upper arm which supports the operating stick so as to be pivotable in a first direction, a lower arm which supports the operating stick so as to be pivotable in a second direction which is perpendicular to the first direction, and bearing portions which are formed at a lower face of the central portion of the lower arm for bearing the shaft portions. The bearing portions are concaved, and the shaft portions are fitted into the bearing portions from a lower side respectively.

A first crank supports an operating stick so as to be pivotable in a first direction. First flat faces are formed at lower both end portions in the first direction of the first crank. A second crank supports the operating stick so as to be pivotable in a second direction which is perpendicular to the first direction. Second flat faces are formed at lower both end portions in the second direction of the second crank. A restoration member is arranged coaxially with the operating stick which is situated at a neutral position thereof. The restoration member includes a flat top face brought into contact with the first flat faces and the second flat faces. A spring member is arranged coaxially with the restoration member, and urges the restoration member toward the first flat faces and the second flat faces.
