Abstract
A shoe clearance over-adjustment prevention apparatus employable to various types of automatic shoe clearance adjustment devices and drum brakes and designable to have a common thermo-sensitive member suitable for mass production. The thermo-sensitive member is sandwiched between the strut and the brake lever to cause a functional engagement, and if the brake temperature reaches a predetermined value or range, the strut is pushed toward the brake shoe so as to disable the automatic shoe clearance adjustment operation.
