Abstract: The present invention concerns a disc brake having one or more sliding or floating brake discs. The discs are received on a hub by means of splines on the discs and hub, respectively. The discs have means to widen the support of each disc on the hub. The means may have the form of one or more rings, pins and/or clips attached to the discs.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a modular disc brake, preferably for a heavy road vehicle. The modular disc brake comprises a frame, a house and a cover. A brake mechanism forming a single pre-mounted unit is received in the house. The modules are held together by means of pull rods and nuts. The house is received in a recess of the frame. The cover covers the end of the house. The frame is of a floating type having openings to receive sliding pins.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a disc brake for vehicles, which disc brake comprises a box for receiving a brake mechanism and a caliper. The caliper is detachably fixed to the box. The disc brake is formed of different modules. The box could be said to be a mounting fixture for the other modules. By the modular form the disc brake consists of a number of smaller units facilitating handling during production, repair, maintenance etc.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a brake mechanism of a disc brake received in a caliper and a method for controlling the force amplification for the brake mechanism. The brake mechanism comprises a lever actuated by a brake actuator. The lever is acting on a cross bar by means of an intermediate part. The lever and the intermediate part have a line of contact moving along a circular arc during an application stroke of the brake mechanism. The cross bar of the brake mechanism is closely guided and is only moveable in the thrust direction and in the tangential direction of the brake disc. The force amplification of the brake mechanism is adapted to the force characteristics of the brake actuator.

Abstract: A penetration resistant article consisting essentially of one or more layers of a woven fabric made from a yarn of polyester, polyamide, polypropylene, polyethylene, or derivatives or mixtures thereof having a friction raising characteristic.

Abstract: The invention relates to a stab resistant article consisting essentially of one or more layers of a fabric with a tensile strength larger than 50N/5 cm having been treated with a composition comprising 0.1-2 mm particles of inorganic oxides and powder of inorganic oxides having a true density of 1000-4000 kg/m3 and a curable plastic material chosen from polyvinyl chloride, polyurethanes or acrylates.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a disc brake having a brake mechanism. The disc brake comprises a caliper (16) reaching over a brake disc and having a cavity for receiving the brake mechanism. The brake mechanism comprises a bearing bracket (30) received from the inside in an opening (17) of the caliper (16) in the side wall furthest from the brake disc. The brake mechanism comprises an adjuster mechanism (23) an adjustment shaft (40) and a reset shaft (41). Means (24) are provided for transferring movement between the adjuster and reset shafts (40, 41). The adjuster mechanism is actuated by a lever pin (43) on a lever (31) of the brake mechanism and is received in the bearing bracket (30) at assembly.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a brake mechanism for a brake disc. The brake mechanism comprises a brake lever (1,21), a cross bar (3,23), one or more thrust plates (5,25) and a closing plate (7). The brake mechanism is of a modular form comprising two or more units.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a brake caliper (16) and a brake mechanism for a brake disc received in said caliper (16). The brake mechanism comprises a brake lever (1), a cross bar (3), one or more thrust plates (5) and a cover (7). The caliper (16) is of an open design having an opening (17) in the wall furthest from the brake disc. A bearing bracket (2) is mounted from the inside of the caliper (16) in said opening (17).

Abstract: The present invention concerns a brake caliper (1) and a method for assembly of a brake mechanism for a disc brake in said caliper (1). The caliper (1) surrounds the brake disc on both sides and has a cavity (20) for receiving the brake mechanism. The caliper (1) is of an open design having an opening (2) in the wall furthest from the brake disc. The inside of the caliper (1) may be machined by means of said opening (2), before the brake mechanism is assembled in the caliper (1).

Abstract: The present invention concerns a brake mechanism of a disc brake received in a caliper (16) and a method for controlling the force amplification for the brake mechanism. The brake mechanism comprises a lever (26, 31) actuated by a brake actuator. The lever is acting on a cross bar (34, 37) by means of an intermediate part (27). The lever (26, 31) and the intermediate part (27) have a line of contact moving along a circular arc during an application stroke of the brake mechanism. The cross bar (34, 37) of the brake mechanism is closely guided and is only moveable in the thrust direction and in the tangential direction of the brake disc. The force amplification of the brake mechanism is adapted to the force characteristics of the brake actuator.
