Patent number: 10240649Abstract: A caliper for disc brake comprising a caliper body housing at least one pair of pads disposed on opposite sides along an axial direction and comprising at least one thrust piston which interfaces with the pad so as to press it against the associable brake disc, and at least one return spring that exerts a return thrust on the support plate of the pad. The return spring comprises a fixing portion to the caliper body that extends from axially opposite sides in separate thrust branches, each thrust branch interfacing with a support plate of a related pad. Each thrust branch comprises a first rectilinear portion that extends towards the corresponding pad, a curved portion, integral with the first rectilinear portion and folded in approach to the fixing portion, a second rectilinear portion that extends from the curved portion in approach to the fixing portion. The second rectilinear portion terminates with a free cantilevered end and interfaces with an edge of the support plate.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2017Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: Freni Brembo S.p.A.Inventors: Andrea Teruzzi, Fabio Scotti

Patent number: 10156274Abstract: The invention relates to a caliper for disc brake comprising a caliper body which defines a housing compartment for an associated brake disc and houses at least one pair of pads arranged on opposite sides of the housing compartment along an axial direction. The caliper body comprises at least one thrust piston axially operable against the pad, at least one axial guide which supports and guides the pad in the axial direction and a first thrust spring which exerts a thrust on the pad. Said thrust has a first axial component, axially directed in a direction of approach to the pistons, and a first radial component, perpendicular to the axial direction. Advantageously, the caliper body comprises at least one compensation spring which exerts an axial thrust on the pad in a direction of approach to the pistons. The second axial component annuls the momentum given by the friction force exchanged between the pad and the axial guide with respect to the point of application of the first axial component on the pad.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2013Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: FRENI BREMBO, S.P.A.Inventors: Cristian Crippa, Giovanni Fattori, Andrea Teruzzi

Patent number: 9970495Abstract: The invention relates to a disc brake caliper (100) comprising: a caliper body (10) placed astride the disc of a disc brake, fitted with a pair of half-bodies (11, 12) connected to each other by means of a first and a second end bridge (20, 21) adapted to delimit a central aperture (22) of the caliper body (10), and by means of a first (13) and a second (14) connection bridge placed astride the disc of the disc brake at such a central aperture (22). The caliper body (10) houses brake pads (2, 3) supported by suspension pins for pads (4, 4?, 5, 5?) arranged in an axial direction (X-X) of the caliper body; said pads have a first side (42) facing the disc of the disc brake connected to an opposite second side (44) by means of a corner (43) facing said central aperture (22).Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2015Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: Freni Brembo S.p.A.Inventors: Cristian Crippa, Mirko Castelana, Andrea Teruzzi, Diego Comito
