Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a brake apparatus comprising: a single monolithic brake shoe having a circular shape, wherein the shoe has a spacing defined therein at a predetermined location thereof; an actuator disposed in the spacing, wherein the actuator includes a hollow cylinder an a piston slidably contained in the cylinder, wherein when the actuator is activated, the spacing increases; and a brake lining lined on an outer face of the brake shoe, wherein when the spacing increases, the lining selectively contacts a brake drum, wherein the piston is step-shaped such that a braking force of the brake apparatus having the single monolithic brake shoe is substantially equal to a braking force of a brake apparatus having two individual brake shoes.

Claim (Index 13):
The apparatus of claim ii, wherein each of the first and second pistons is step-shaped such that each of the pistons has portions with different diameters.
