Abstract

A hand brake lever, especially for a motor vehicle, includes at least two tubes (2, 3) telescopically inserted into each other for actuating a locking device (5) of a parking brake. The tubes (2, 3) automatically lock in any pulled-out position and actuation of a device corresponding to the tubes (2, 3) causes the release of the locking device (5).
