  • Patent number: 6668981
    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.

  • Patent number: 6634468
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a brake caliper and a method for assembly of a brake mechanism for a disc brake in said caliper. The caliper surrounds the brake disc on both sides and has a cavity for receiving the brake mechanism. The caliper is of an open design having an opening in the wall furthest from the brake disc. The inside of the caliper may be machined through the opening, before the brake mechanism is assembled in the caliper.

  • Publication number: 20020014374
    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.
