Abstract
An arrangement for operating a parking brake for a motor vehicle has braking devices which are arranged on the wheel side and can be operated by way of tension members. The tension members are guided around by way of deflecting elements and, via a transmission element, are connected with a hand brake lever. The deflecting elements consist of two segments which are disposed opposed to one another and on a common swivel axis and are held in an inoperative position by at least one return element. Each segment has a deflecting contour with guide grooves for the tension cables forming the tension members.
