Abstract
An adjustable brake-actuating device of the spindle and nut type eliminating need of an adjusting thread includes an actuating nut driven by an actuating lever through a one-way clutch, which opens during the release stroke of the lever, and a clutch-spring encircling the actuating nut to limit the release movement of the actuating nut to an amount corresponding to the desired brake pad clearance.
