Claims3
A foot depressing parking brake apparatus comprising:
- a brake pedal main body pivotably supported by a support shaft,
- a ratchet plate having ratchet teeth and attached to the brake pedal main body,
- a ratchet pole rotatably attached to a pivot pin and constituting a shaft hole thereof inserted with the pivot pin by a long hole, and
- an elastic member for exerting a turning force to the ratchet pole, wherein
- by sliding the ratchet pole along the shaft hole constituting the long hole by the turning force by the elastic member and a force of depressing the pedal main body, a brake operating state in which a claw portion of the ratchet pole is brought in mesh with the ratchet teeth of the ratchet plate, and a brake releasing state in which the meshing is released are realized,
- the ratchet plate is integrally provided with a reset arm portion for restricting an attitude of the ratchet pole in releasing a brake, and
- a base end portion of the reset arm portion is formed with an escaping portion in correspondence with the sliding operation in releasing the brake.
