    Patent number: 6105734
    Abstract: A disk brake for vehicles, especially for utility vehicles, comprising brake shoes, an application on both sides of the brake disk which applies one of the brake shoes, and a force transmitting device to transmit application force to the brake shoe on the other side of the disk brake. The force transmitting device is shaped like a fully enclosed frame, which absorbs the application forces. A modular element of the force transmitting device enables brake mechanism to be premounted and improves structural rigidity.
