Abstract

A parking brake assembly which includes a lever (15) for operation of a brake shoe (11, 12) to provide a parking function. The lever (15) has an automatic latching device (21, 22, 23) for automatically latching to the lever (15) an end fitting (20) on an operating cable (19). The automatic latching device (21, 22, 23) comprises a flap (22) mounted on the lever (15) which is deflected aside by the end fitting (20) as the cable (19) is fed in a first direction towards the lever (15) and which latches behind an abutment (20a) on the end fitting (20) to latch the cable (19) to the lever (15) so that subsequent movement of the cable (19) in a second direction opposite to the first direction moves the lever (15) to operate the parking function.
