Abstract

A locking arrangement for locking a brake part held under tension is provided. The locking arrangement includes a gearing having a plurality of adjoining gears, a catch which can be pivoted about a catch coupling and which has at least one engaging nose that is biased in the direction toward the gearing on one engagement end. Either the catch coupling or the gearing can be pivoted about a main axis relative to each other, and a parking brake equipped with the locking arrangement. A locking arrangement, or a parking brake enabling an improved locking is created in that an auxiliary nose is associated with the catch at a distance from the engaging nose, and that the auxiliary nose is disposed such that it may be brought into contact with the gearing in front of the engaging nose.
