Abstract
An automatic adjuster which readily permits manual adjustment of a drum brake by manually rotating an adjuster screw only. For normal automatic adjustment, an adjuster nut makes outward screwing rotation with the adjuster screw not allowed to rotate when the extent of forward movement of the adjuster nut comes to exceed a predetermined value during brake application. Manual adjustment is performed by rotating the adjuster screw to screw it outward or inward while the adjuster nut is not allowed to rotate.
