Abstract
An inside shoe drum brake, particularly for motor vehicles, is disclosed which comprises a support arrangement for the brake shoes which can be pressed by means of an actuation device against the brake drum, and which has a brake anchor plate carrying the support arrangement and the actuation device as well as comprising an area for the attachment to a wheel carrier. According to the invention, a guide element is provided which is engaged in the axial direction of the brake with the brake shoes and which is guided, in a sliding manner, on the attachment area or on the actuation device. Thus a simply designed and lightweight inside shoe drum brake is provided which has an optimized noise behavior with respect to brake squeal.
