Abstract
Abstract An anti-skid brake apparatus comprises a brake plate rotatably attached to a vehicle frame with a first spring interposed between the plate and the vehicle body. A brake actuator member on the brake plate is connected via a second spring to a brake pedal, and the two springs are so arranged that they resist the rotation of the brake plate imposed thereon by the wheel at the time of brake operation.
