AUTOMOBILE BRAKE Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: transport engineering; automobile disk brakes. SUBSTANCE: automobile brake has at least one lining with two practically flat surfaces. First of these surfaces is partially covered by friction material in central part. Lining has two side lugs at two sides of above-indicated central part. Each of the lugs has relatively large width in first direction practically perpendicular to second direction connecting the lugs. Central part is connected with two lugs by connecting zones of relatively small width in first direction. Width of each lug over perimeter at a distance from each connecting zone exceeds width of this zone. Each lug of lining is made round. Leaf springs in form of star with at least three arms are fitted on above-indicated second surface. Corresponding spring is connected to each lug by its central part. Each spring overhangs over periphery of corresponding lug in at least two points which are respectively spaced over perimeter of lug. EFFECT: possibility of returning of lining into rest position immediately after release of brake. 8 cl, 12 dwg
