Anyone seen these yokes before?

I know they're not high quality but I was wondering if anyone can shed more light on them at all?

Had these on a bike I bought and then flipped.

Curious things. From memory the button is used to slightly splay out the brake pads to help wheel removal.

Coincidentally I came across one of these in amongst my box of bits. It's never been used and I did wonder how it works. I think mine had a diagram or instructions attached to it, I'll have another look later.

I have roughly worked out how it all works. The top bit when pushed down allows the brake cable to move and when it isn't it's sorted of clamped in place. I'd be interested in what the instructions say if you can take some more photos.

That's all that was attached sorry, I guess they figured a picture paints a thousand words.

No worries.

..... suffice to say, they are pointless and not worth dealing with IMHO.

They never took off BITD, but a pristine example may gain retro points and earn you a top podium spot at the BotM

Ebay USA. The biggest historical archive of any old shit in existence. Except for French bike parts pre 1960.

Jesting a side. Always a great research tool.
