Abstract
A parking brake equalizer includes: a main body including side plates and a back plate to have a U shape, and accommodating output members; and a resin member disposed within the main body. The main body has engaging holes provided in the back plate, allowing connecting members connecting the output members and braking devices to extend outwardly of the main body while inhibiting the output members from passing therethrough; inserting holes provided in one of the side plates such that the output members are insertable into the main body therethrough; and slits provided to connect the inserting and engaging holes, for enabling the connecting members to be insertable therethrough. The resin member includes contact-preventing portions preventing contact of the output members with the side plates and gate portions projecting within the inserting holes and elastically deformable to allow insertion of the output members therethrough, while restoring their original shapes to prevent the output members from coming out through the inserting holes after the output members have been seated in the engaging holes.
