Abstract
An anchor bracket (100) is provided for securing return springs (36) and (36') in close proximity to a cam (32) of a rotary drum brake assembly (200). Bracket (100) has an inverted "U" type configuration comprising a bridging portion (40) from opposite sides of which extend legs (42) and (42') that are spaced apart from each other and have a height sufficient to enable the close proximity between cam (32) and bracket (100) that operates to increase mechanical advantage in enabling return springs (36) and (36') to move a pair of brake shoe assemblies (20) and (20') towards each other upon release of the brakes by an operator.
