Abstract

A drum brake (1) having a rotatably journalled drum (2) and means for adjusting the torque applied to the drum (2) has several peripherally-extending take-up slots (4) for filaments (5) with the slots being spaced from each other in the direction of the drum axis (X). With such an arrangement, a plurality of filaments can be adjusted to constant filament tensions simultaneously.
