Abstract
Parking brake for vehicle, of the type comprising a lever (1) articulated onto a spindle (2) integral with a base (3) designed to be solidly attached with the chassis of the vehicle, which lever is connected to at least one actuation cable (7), and means for locking the lever in a predetermined angular position; the lever includes an element (9) for linkage with the cable, and the end of the base (3) contiguous to the articulation spindle of the lever is profiled so as to form a ramp (11) for limiting the displacement of the said linkage element during operations of the lever, this ramp being limited by a stop (11b) for retaining the lever in a raised brake actuation position and being positioned at the end of the base opposite the entry of the cable. This brake requires for its operation only a limited force from the user, less than the forces normally necessary on conventional brakes with toothed sectors and pawls.
