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 9):
The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the piston includes first and second pistons spaced apart from each other, wherein when a hydraulic pressure is generated by an operation of the brake apparatus, each separated end of the single brake shoe via the spacing is pressed by each of the first and second pistons.
