BRAKE SHOE EQUALIZING SUPPORT Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC F16D65/92 

FIELD: automotive industry; vehicle disk brakes.

SUBSTANCE: one or more brake shoes of disk brake are arranged on fastening plates or on other supports for shoes and/or caliper or like device. Caliper or like device and support for shoes are made for taking up resultant counteracting forces at braking in plane perpendicular to surface of contact between caliper or like device and each support for shoes. Calculated point of action of resultant counteracting forces is within the limits of said surface of contact to provide balancing of brake shoes, thus excluding tendency of turning of shoe supports from caliper or to center of brake. Said calculated point of action of counter acting forces is found from following equation where H_eq is perpendicular distance from plane through center of brake disk in which point of action of counteracting forces is found; R_y and R_i are radii from center of brake disk to outer and inner sides of brake shoe; α is angle between line passing through center of brake shoe and center of brake disk and corresponding end of brake shoe.

EFFECT: optimization of position of point of action of counteracting force and taking up of counteracting force in one plane.
