CONNECTION STRUCTURE BETWEEN LEVER AND CABLE OF MECHANICAL DRUM BRAKE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform an easy and reliable work to interconnect a lever and a cable in a state that a link member consisting of the lever and the casing is situated between a pair of brake shoes. SOLUTION: In a state that a plate-form lever 5 being a link member and a casing 6 provided at an internal part with a space and storing the lever 5 in the space are situated extensively through a coupling pin 7 between a pair of brake shoes 3 and 4, the cable 14 is raised to a connection hole 51 of the lever 5, protruding from an opening part 63 as the lever is forced into contact with a closing part 64 of a casing by the force of a spring 8, as the cable passes through the space of the casing from a position below the casing 6 and the lever 5 is inserted in a space between a pair of wall members 17 and 17. The connection hole 51 of the lever 5 is caused to coincide with a lock hole 16 for the cable 14 and connected therewith through a cable pin 12. Thereafter, as the lever 5 connected to the cable protruding from the opening part 63 is pressed downward, a clip 11 is nipped by the casing 6 and the lever 5 makes contact with the clip 11 in the space 62 of the casing 6 for positioning.
