Abstract
Apparatus for adjusting the distance between brake blocks carried at the free ends of relatively pivotal stirrups of a rim brake mechanism and pivotal by means of a bowden cable, the apparatus comprising an axially movable adjusting screw in threaded engagement with a freely rotatable sleeve having gear teeth in mesh with the teeth of a rotatable driver. The core of the cable passes through the screw and the latter is fixed to the core cover.

Apparatus for adjusting the distance between brake blocks of a bicycle rim brake having stirrups pivotal relative to one another in response to axial movement of a bowden cable core passing through a cover and fixed to one of said stirrups, said apparatus comprising a lug fixed to the other of said stirrups;
- an internally threaded sleeve rotatably carried by said lug;
- an axially bored, externally threaded screw fixed to the cover of said bowden cable and in threaded engagement with said sleeve, said core passing through said screw;
- a toothed flange fixed to said sleeve;
- a driver having teeth in mesh with the teeth of said flange;
- and means mounting said driver on said lug for rotation whereby the teeth on said driver and said flange effect rotation of the latter and axial adjustment of said screw with consequent axial adjustment of said core and cover and relative pivotal movement of said stirrups.
