Abstract
The invention is one which provides in a brake device possessing an energy production unit, a force transmission unit which receives the drive force of the energy production unit and produces outputs by advancing and retreating, and a clutch unit which is provided between the energy production unit and the force transmission unit and maintains the advance and retreat positions of the energy force unit when outputs are produced, a guide structure which allows displacement of the force transmission unit and of the brake shoe in an advance and retreat direction relative to the force transmission unit. A buffer unit is provided in the guide structure which urges the force transmission unit and the brake shoe in separate directions and which, on transmission of a reaction force greater than the maximum output of the force transmission unit, allows the brake shoe to move in the advance and retreat directions.
