Abstract
A brake cable connecting apparatus having a cable end insertion groove formed by U-like folding the free end of a brake lever on one of brake shoes and a guiding member provided onto the cable end insertion groove . The guiding member tends to move toward the bottom of the insertion groove by a coil spring . When the cable end is advanced in the insertion groove , the guiding member moves upward, passage of the cable end is permitted by displacement of the guiding member in a direction away from the bottom of the insertion groove , then the guiding member immediately moves downward, thereby engaging a backward surface of the cable end ; therefore, restricting the cable end from coming off.
