Abstract
A brake assembly is disclosed in which a first pivoted lever receives and transmits brake actuating force to a second pivoted lever via rollers which transfer force between the two levers at a point which, due to the geometry of the second lever, moves progressively closer to the pivot point of the first lever and farther from the pivot point of the second lever as force is applied to the first lever.
