Abstract
A parking brake system for use in a motor vehicle, mounted on a floor member which operatively connects a hand-operated brake actuator to a wheel brake is disclosed. The parking brake system comprises a pulley for reversing the direction of a rearwardly directed tensile force output from the brake actuator and transmitting a forwardly directed tensile force to the wheel brakes. The system allows a hand operated parking brake actuator to be used in a vehicle with a cable linkage routed into the front of the vehicle rather than into the rear of the vehicle.
