Abstract

A brake structure capable of adjusting a distance between two brake shoes of a bicycle is disclosed. When the screw is screwed in the adjusting hole, the screw is against and pushing the push member, the concave portion of the push member is pushing the roller, and further the roller is rolling to push the horizontal wall to adjust a distance between the first brake shoe and the second brake shoe to be shorter. When the screw is screwed out of the adjusting hole, the push member is pushed back toward the bolt member, and further the horizontal wall is pushed back toward the push member to roll the roller to adjust the distance between the first brake shoe and the second brake shoe to be longer.

Claims (8)

1. A brake structure capable of adjusting a distance between two brake shoes of a bicycle, comprising:

a first arm, having a first lower extending portion, a first upper extending portion connected with the first lower extending portion, and a first right extending portion connected to the connection of the first lower extending portion and the first upper extending portion, a first pivoting hole is disposed at one end of the first lower extending portion adjacent to the first upper extending portion in a front-back direction, a first connecting hole is disposed at one end of the first lower extending portion distant from the first upper extending portion in a left-right direction for connecting a first brake shoe, an adjusting hole is disposed at one end of the first right extending portion distant from the first lower extending portion in an up-down direction, and an elongated round hole is disposed at one end of the first right extending portion distant from the connection of the first lower extending portion and the first upper extending portion, and an axial direction of the elongated round hole is in the up-down direction;

a second arm, having a second lower extending portion and a second left extending portion, a second pivoting hole is disposed at one end of the second lower extending portion adjacent to the second left extending portion in the front-back direction, a second connecting hole is corresponding to the first connecting hole and disposed at one end of the second lower extending portion distant from the second left extending portion for connecting a second brake shoe, one end of the second left extending portion distant from the second lower extending portion and one end of the first upper extending portion distant from the first lower extending portion are separatedly connected with a brake cable, and one end of the second left extending portion adjacent to the second lower extending portion forms a vertical wall and a horizontal wall connected with each other;

a push member, disposed between the end of first right extending portion distant from the first lower extending portion and the horizontal wall, a bolt member is passed through the elongated round hole and the push member to fix the push member, a screw is adjustably disposed inside the adjusting hole and against a top of the push member, and a concave portion is formed at the bottom of the push member; and

a roller, pivotedly received in the concave portion of the push member, two ends of the roller are respectively and rollably against the horizontal wall and the concave portion;

wherein when the screw is screwed in the adjusting hole, the screw is against and pushing the push member, the concave portion of the push member is pushing the roller, and further the roller is rolling to push the horizontal wall to adjust a distance between the first brake shoe and the second brake shoe to be shorter;

wherein when the screw is screwed out of the adjusting hole, the push member is pushed back toward the bolt member, and further the horizontal wall is pushed back toward the push member to roll the roller to adjust the distance between the first brake shoe and the second brake shoe to be longer; and

wherein the first pivoting hole and the second pivoting hole are detachably fastened at a front fork or a rear fork.
