Embodiment Construction

[0051]FIG. 1 shows a fist brake caliper 31 provided with a frame 30 and guided displaceably on a support 5 . The brake carrier 5 can be fastened to a steering knuckle of a vehicle by means of fastening holes 32 . Guide pins 33 , 34 on the carrier 5 serve to guide the brake caliper 31 on the carrier 5 , wherein the brake caliper 30 can additionally also be supported on a rear plate 35 of the outer brake pads 3 , 4 . The carrier arms 6 , 7 and 8 of the carrier 5 projecting axially from the fastening plate 36 are substantially U-shaped and act astride a brake disc, not shown. The arms 6 , 7 , 8 have at the free ends of their respective branches a groove 19 (referred to several times below as a broached formation) against which the radially downwardly directed hooks 38 of the brake pads 1 to 4 act. Inside. The tension and also the pressure exerted by the brake pads 1 to 4 can thus be transmitted to the corresponding walls of the groove 19 (this so-called compression / tension prin...

Abstract

The invention concerns a floating caliper brake comprising a brake anchor plate (5), a floating caliper (31), extending on the outer edge of a brake disc and guided so as to slide axially on said brake anchor plate (5), brake pads (1, 2, 3, 4) arranged on both sides of the brake disc, enclosed by the floating caliper (31) and of which at least two (1, 2) are arranged on the inner axial side of the brake disc and at least two (3, 4) on the outer axial side, the inner brake pads (1, 2) being guided so as to slide on the brake anchor plate (5). The invention aims at reducing the weight of a floating caliper brake while improving the brake assembly and operating conditions. Therefor, the two outer pads (3, 4) are supported by arms (6, 7, 8) of the anchor plate, projecting from the brake disc, while the floating caliper (31) acts on said two outer brake pads. The dependent claims disclose how such improvement is advantageously achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a disc brake, in particular for motor vehicles, with a floating brake caliper which is displaceably mounted on a brake carrier which can be fixedly mounted relative to the vehicle. Background technique [0002] Cars designed for high driving speeds always require efficient braking capabilities. In order to achieve higher braking power, it is theoretically required to increase the friction surface of the brake pad. Efficient braking therefore also firstly requires a brake disc diameter that is as large as possible. On the other hand, the diameter of the wheel should not be increased. Since modern vehicle designs increasingly require smaller wheels and thus likewise smaller brake discs, the result of this is that the brake pads are lengthened tangentially. [0003] Floating calipers known so far - disc brakes, in particular brakes with frame-shaped floating calipers in which the length of the tangential pads is greater than 1....
