movement of the drive reel 48 urges the lever 32 back toward its unactuated position via the cable 68 to release the park brakes 26 from the brake applied condition the lever 32 is urged back toward its brake applied position until the first end 62 of the arcuate slot 58 contacts and slightly displaces the finger 60 this slight displacement of the finger 60 causes the control crank 76 to move a small arcuate degree in the clockwise direction about the control pivot 78 allowing the pawl 104 to disengage from the lock sector 102 the lever 32 is then slowly moved by the vehicle operator from the position shown in fig6 back to the position shown in fig3 and thereby gradually releasing the park brake 26 to an unactuated condition the primary advantage of the subject invention is that the isolator means 40 completely isolates the lever 32 and flexible cable 68 from the forces on the control means 36 while the park brakes 26 are maintained in a brake applied condition more specifically tensile forces of 90 pounds or greater may be required to maintain park brakes 26 in a brake applied condition hence each of the cables 86 are required to withstand such a 90 pound tensile load for extended periods of time and therefore must.
