A brake device includes a shoe holder, and a brake shoe held by the shoe holder. The brake shoe has a plurality of outwardly projecting brake parts, a plurality of grooves each of which is formed between two adjacent ones of the brake parts and each of which is defined by a pair of groove walls, a plurality of flat contact faces formed on the brake parts, respectively, and spaced apart by the grooves, and a pair of buffer faces formed at two opposite ends of each of the contact faces to connect each of the contact faces to two adjacent ones of the groove walls. Each of the buffer faces extends inwardly of the corresponding one of the contact faces.

A brake apparatus for a cycle designed so that a toe-in angle of a brake shoe can be set with ease and with high accuracy when the apparatus is assembled. When a toe-in setting member between the brake shoe and a clamping mechanism is deformed, a difference is produced between the angle at which a brake shoe is attached to a support member before the deformation and the angle at which the brake shoe is attached to the support member after deformation. The extent to which the toe-in setting member is deformable has previously been set so that the difference in angle will become a predetermined toe-in angle. A clamping mechanism is operated to clamp the brake shoe to the support member such that the brake shoe can be pressed against a wheel rim. Consequently, when the brake is operated, the brake shoe contacts the friction surface of the wheel rim with a predetermined toe-in angle.

The padded shoe brake comprises a pair of shoe pads, the wheel rim mating surface of which has a hollow shape and is adapted to continuously encompass both sides and an inner annular portion of the wheel rim, a control and guiding assembly being operative to move the shoe pads along paths which intersect the wheel rim between the sides and the inner annular portion of the wheel rim.

A brake shoe mount for a brake apparatus comprising a first rotatable member mounted on a brake arm and rotatable about a first axis and a second rotatable member fixedly provided with a brake shoe, mounted on the first rotatable member and rotatable about a second axis positioned away from the first axis and wherein the first rotatable member is non-rotatably fixed to the brake arm, and the second rotatable member is non-rotatably fixed to the first rotatable member.
