Brake cable fixing device for a parking brake, in particular for a duo-servo hat-section-type parking brake

In combination, a brake cable, parking brake expanding lock, and a cable brake fixing arrangement connecting an end of said brake cable to said parking brake expanding lock, said expanding lock including a pressure bracket comprised of fork legs connected with an end wall at one end thereof comprising an actuating portion, and an actuating lever comprised of fork legs disposed within said pressure bracket fork legs, said actuating lever fork legs spaced apart a predetermined distance and connected at one end with a brake actuating portion, the unconnected end of each of said actuating lever fork legs adjacent said end wall of said pressure bracket and extending at an inclination with respect to said end wall to create a convergent space therebetween;

• an elastic leg mounted to said end wall of said pressure bracket and having a free end inclined towards said unconnected end of each of said actuating lever fork legs to create a convergent entry space;
• a cable end nipple connected to the end of said cable, of a width greater than said distance between said actuating lever fork legs, and said convergent entry space, whereby said cable end nipple can be inserted by deflecting said elastic leg to allow said cable end nipple to pass by and allow said cable to be pushed between said actuating lever fork legs and retained therebetween by said connected cable end nipple.
