Abstract
A brake assembly includes a base having two first connection parts and each first connection part has a first hole and a second hole. Two second connection parts extend from the underside of the base. Two arms are pivotably connected to the two second connection parts. A driving member has a driving part and a positioning portion. The driving part has two curved driving face formed on two ends thereof. The driving member is connected to the first hole by a rod, and a brake cable is connected to the positioning portion. The action members are respectively located in the two second holes. When the driving member is pivoted by the brake cable, the driving member pushes the action members to pivot the arms to brake the wheel. The driving member allows the force to be sent to the brake pads directly and quickly, and the brake assembly is light and compact.
