A lever moves the shoe against a wheel drum in response to a braking command to effect a brake application. A resilient return spaces the shoe apart from the drum when braking ceases. The shoe is mounted to slide along an essentially radial axis between two guide walls secured to the plate The lever for applying the shoe bears against the inside wall of the shoe for exerting a substantially radial force.
