Abstract:
1. A quick-release device for a bicycle brake including a first brake arm, a second brake arm, and a brake cable, the quick-release device comprising: a lever including a first part and a second part pivotably secured to a top of the second brake arm; wherein the brake cable is terminated at the lever; wherein a rotation of the lever in a first direction loosens the brake cable and increases a distance between the first brake arm and the second brake arm; and wherein a rotation of the lever in a second direction contrary to the first direction tightens the brake cable and decreases the distance between the first brake arm and the second brake arm; an attachment assembly for securing the brake cable to a joining portion of the first part and the second part; a bent, rigid tube pivotably secured to a top of the first brake arm with the brake cable passing through the bent, rigid tube; a second lever including a first part and a second part pivotably secured to a top of the first brake arm; and a second attachment assembly integrally formed with the second lever; wherein the bent, rigid tube has one end positioned by the second attachment assembly; wherein a rotation of the second lever in the second direction loosens the brake cable and increases the distance between the first brake arm and the second brake arm; and wherein a rotation of the second lever in the first direction tightens the brake cable and decreases the distance between the first brake arm and the second brake arm.
