1 - Parking brake lever
2 - Spiral spring
3 - Parking brake cable
4 - Ratchet mechanism, toothed segment/latch serves to hold the parking brake in the engaged position
5 - New toothed segment (with fine teeth) serves for automatic adjustment of the stroke of the parking brake lever
6 - New segment tooth
7 - Parking brake cable, no manual adjustment possible.
The coil spring together with the new segment/tooth ratchet mechanism immediately eliminates the gap that has appeared in the parking brake cable. The mechanism only functions when the parking brake lever is completely released. After the parking brake is subsequently tensioned, the gap disappears. Also, if the cable is very tight when the lever is released, the adjustment unit corrects the tension.
