Patent number: 9080624Abstract: A disk brake has a fork with two opposing arms each having a C-shaped axial seat designed to receive a brake pad with two opposing lateral lugs, each lug receiving a pad spring having at least one lower sliding branch, in which a laminar element is interposed between the lug and C-shaped seat, the element having a first lower sliding flange receiving the sliding branch of the pad spring and a second upper vertical supporting flange in the seat. The laminar element is elastically deformable between an initial free state in which the sliding flange and the lower face of the seat form a first acute angle and at least one state of loading by the pad spring in which the sliding flange forms a second acute or zero angle that is less than the first acute angle, and in which the sliding branch of the pad spring is pre-stressed.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2014Date of Patent: July 14, 2015Assignee: CHASSIS BRAKES INTERNATIONAL B.V.Inventors: Sandra Merrien, Andre Gaye

Patent number: 8708111Abstract: A disk brake (1) usually comprises a caliper (2), a carrier (3) and friction means (8, 9). The caliper is slideably mounted on the carrier. To improve the braking performance of such a disk brake while reducing the manufacturing cost, the invention provides that a first friction means is retained rotationally by the carrier while a second friction means is retained rotationally by the caliper. The disk brake according to the present invention is also characterized in that the carrier has at least two guide pins (17, 18), the caliper being slideably mounted on the carrier via these two pins, the caliper having at least two bores (19, 20) able to receive one pin each.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2005Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Pascal Mary Dit Cordier, Norbert Vanouche, Philippe Barret, Andre Gaye

Patent number: 7810617Abstract: A friction element for a disk brake that includes a support plate (2) on which is fixed a friction material designed to come into contact with a first face of a brake disk. The friction element also includes an elastic element for returning the friction element to its rest position, said elastic element including a wound section of turns from which extend a first and second arm (30, 32) of different lengths designed to bear elastically against an arch of a caliper of the disk brake. The wound section of turns is fitted into an orifice made in a radial projection of the support plate.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2005Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Norbert Vanouche, Pascal Mary Dit Cordier, Andre Gaye, Daniel Menguy, Christophe Houdebine
