Abstract
Abstract A HINGED OPERATING LEVER WHICH CAN BE USED AS A HAND BRAKE IN AN AUTOMOTIVE VEHICLE HAS TWO HINGEDLY CONNECTED PARTS, THE FIRST OF WHICH CONSTITUTES A HANDLE. A PAWL IS ROTATABLY MOUNTED ON THE SECOND PART AND IS ENGAGEABLE IN A DETENT PLATE TO SECURE THE HAND BRAKE. THE PAWL IS ALSO RELEASABLE BY A CONTROL LINKAGE COMPRISING A CONTROL ROD AND A LEAF SPRING WHICH THEREBY PERMITS THE HANDLE TO BE FOLDED DOWN OUT OF THE WAY OF A PASSENGER WHEN EXITING FROM THE VEHICLE BY THE APPLICATION OF HAND PRESSURE TO THE HANDLE.
