Abstract

See full text

In a drum brake for a vehicle in which a pair of brake shoes 4 and 5 having an identical size are pressed against an inner face of a brake drum 1 so as to effect braking, a natural frequency of one (4) of said pair of brake shoes 4 and 5 is made different from a natural frequency of the other (5). Due to the difference in the respective natural frequencies of the right and left brake shoes 4 and 5, coupled vibrations between the brake drum 1 and the two brake shoes 4 and 5 are hard to cause, whereby it is effective in drastically reducing opportunities of generating 'judder.'
