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 3):
The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the brake shoe has a circumference face portion, and both radially and inwardly extensions from both edges of the face portion respectively, wherein the groove is defined in at least one of the radially and inwardly extensions, wherein when the grooves are defined in the radially and inwardly extensions respectively, the grooves have the same or different depth and/or shape.
