Abstract
An improved brake lever assembly of the overcenter toggle type is disclosed, wherein the brake operating lever is preferably pivotally connected with the stationary mounting plate assembly about a pivot axis that is laterally displaced from the linear axis of travel of an inner cable member relative to the concentrically arranged tubular outer sheath, thereby to reduce wear of the inner cable guide means. According to an important feature of the invention, an improved anchor plate arrangement is provided for connecting one end of the outer sheath member with one end of the stationary mounting plate assembly.
