  "textContent": "A mechanical sensor (10) for a hand brake quick release mechanism (12) having a housing (14), flexible clamp (26), and release shaft (28) having a member (30) with first (32) and second elements (34). A housing member (36) has open and closed ends. The open end is engageable with a housing outside wall at a point radially opposed to the flexible clamp. A first aperture formed through the closed end is in axial alignment with a second aperture through the housing wall and a third aperture through the flexible clamp. A first portion (50) of the slidable member (48) is disposed within the housing member. A second portion (52) extends through the first aperture (42), and a portion of the first portion extends through the second and third apertures (44,46), engaging with the first element when the release shaft is rotated to achieve and maintain full brake release. A device is provided for urging the slidable member inwardly when the hand brake is applied.",
