  • Motion transmitting member for a mechanical brake assembly
    Patent number: 4016958
    Abstract: A mechanical brake assembly actuated by pivotal movement of a lever carried by the assembly. Braking force is applied to the brake shoes by motion transmitting members which comprise a link pivotally mounted to a backing plate and an upstanding pin. The pins transfer braking forces from the actuator lever body to the brake shoes while the pivotally mounted links permit movement of the actuating lever to equalize the radial braking force applied to each shoe.
