Abstract
The brake construction is comprised of first and second U-shaped leg means which are pivotally attached to the bottom surface of the creeper platform and interconnected by means of a tie rod. A manually operated handle is attached to one of the leg means to effect pivoting motion of both leg means between a brake engagement position and a brake release position. When the leg means are in the brake engagement position, they define a generally divergent angle which tends to lock the brake construction in the brake engagement position.
