  • Publication number: 20040256187
    Abstract: A piston seal of a disc brake can stabilize the amount of rollback of a piston by reducing thermal expansion and a decrease in modulus of elasticity of the piston seal caused by an increase in temperature, thereby preventing a driver from feeling that the brake operation is unnatural. The piston seal is formed of a rubber composition in which at least 100 parts by weight or more of carbon black is added to 100 parts by weight of ethylene propylene rubber.

  • Patent number: 5988610
    Abstract: A liquid sealed suspension unit includes a first member and a second member which are independent of each other and which are coupled together. A cylindrical rubber mount (43) is fastened to the first member, and the second member is mounted so as to be slidable in an axial direction thereof relative to the cylindrical rubber mount (43). The cylindrical rubber mount (43) has a plurality of rubber layers (46a, 46b, 46c) laminated via a plurality of cylindrical members (45a, 45b, 45c) such that they are different with respect to at least either of (i) thickness in their radial direction and (ii) height in their axial direction. A spring member (57), in the form of at least one spring coil, is interposed between a damper plate member (50) and an inner surface of a vessel (40) at the bottom of the vessel. This construction provides an increased displacement amplitude in the axial direction, and an excellent vibration absorptivity for both a roll and a pitch can be achieved.
