BRAKE DISK Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC F16D65/12 

FIELD: mechanical engineering; vehicle multiple-disk brakes.

SUBSTANCE: proposed brake disk contains friction member made of carbon composition with rectangular slots uniformly spaced over circumference in each of which two metal U-shaped load-bearing clamp-like inserts are fitted. Each such clamp engages by walls with side surface of slot and end face surfaces of friction member, being secured on disk by rivets. At least two vertical cuts pointed to each other and displaced relative to each other are made in each clamp on walls in contact with end face surfaces of friction member. Cuts are made to provide elastic deformation of clamp and its mounting on friction member with preload to guarantee locking of clamp to prevent its turning relative to axis of rivet.

EFFECT: improved reliability and increased service life of disk owing to prevention of destruction of friction member made of monocarbon under action of thermal, power and vibration loads.
