Abstract
A toggle type parking brake lever apparatus capable of surely holding a brake lever at a brake application position is provided. Attached to the brake lever is a pivotable stopper pawl, with which a stopper surface formed on a stopper plate is adapted to be engaged in a brake application condition so as to inhibit the brake lever from being turned in a brake releasing direction. A stopper releasing rod with a push button is provided longitudinally of the brake lever to pivot the stopper pawl, thereby to disengage the stopper pawl from the stopper face. The invention is also applicable to a brake lever which is supported to a lever bracket, tiltably back and forth, and left and right, by means of a universal joint.
