It is an object of this invention to provide a mechanical drum brake device which prevents a cable end from coming off from a brake lever without requiring an improvement in the brake shoe or the brake lever and an additional part. To that end, the lever return spring stretched between the brake shoe and the brake lever is utilized to restrict the lengthwise travel of the cable end along the shoe rim of the brake shoe.
