Publication number: 20230375050Abstract: Disclosed is a brake application mechanism for a disc brake in a utility vehicle, having a pivotable brake lever that is supported on an inner wall of a brake caliper and, indirectly, on a bridge which is movably disposed in the brake caliper and which supports at least one brake pad, wherefor an axially and radially secured antifriction roller is disposed between the brake lever and the bridge. The disclosed brake application mechanism is designed such that the antifriction roller rests on the bridge in such a way as to be prevented from rotating and sliding.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2021Publication date: November 23, 2023Inventors: Julian DAHLENBURG, Christian STOEGER, Andreas PETSCHKE, Natalie ROTH, Maximilian HAUSER, Michael HIDRINGER, Thomas BECK, Martin HEINDL, Dimitrij HABERMANN, Thomas THALER, Frederic SCHROEPF, Thomas EICHLER

Patent number: 11359684Abstract: A disc brake for a commercial vehicle is provided. The disc brake includes a brake caliper, preferably in the form of a sliding caliper, straddling a brake disc, being arranged on a fixed backing plate, and having an application device for applying the brake. The disk brake also includes two brake pads, each having a pad carrier and an affixed friction pad, and each being inserted into a pad shaft of the backing plate. The brake caliper has a central caliper opening over the disc brake. A hold-down bar is provided, designed in such a way that, of the two brake pads, it radially secures only the reaction-side brake pad in its lining shaft in the backing plate. The hold-down bar is held on the brake caliper by its end facing away from the brake pad. Additionally, the application-side brake pad is radially interlockingly secured in its pad shaft in the backing plate.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2018Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: KNORR-BREMSE Systeme fuer Nutzfahrzeuge GmbHInventors: Tobias Fischl, Wolfgang Pritz, Andreas Petschke, Josef Schropp, Julian Cato Dahlenburg, Markus Bartel

Patent number: 11111974Abstract: A brake carrier for a disc brake of a commercial vehicle has an attachment region for fixing on a vehicle axis and at least one pad shaft for receiving and supporting at least one brake pad. The pad shaft is formed by way of an inlet-side carrier horn, an outlet-side carrier horn and a bridge which connects the inlet-side carrier horn and the outlet-side carrier horn. Regions of the bridge which adjoin the carrier horns form bearing surfaces for radially supporting the at least one brake pad. The respective guide contours for guiding the brake pad into a push-in position are arranged to the side of the pad shaft on a side surface of the carrier horns, in which push-in position the brake pad can be pushed axially with respect to the vehicle axle into the pad shaft between the carrier horns.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2019Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: KNORR-BREMSE Systeme fuer Nutzfahrzeuge GmbHInventors: Tobias Fischl, Josef Schropp, Andreas Petschke

Publication number: 20210206355Abstract: A disc brake for a utility vehicle includes a brake caliper, designed as a sliding caliper and engaging over a brake disc, which is secured to a stationary brake carrier. Two brake pads, which are arranged in the brake caliper, can move inversely and have a respective pad carrier plate and a friction lining secured thereon, of which an action-side or application-side brake pad can be pressed against the brake disc by an application device via at least one brake piston. The brake pads are each accommodated in a pad housing of the stationary brake carrier, wherein the pad housing is formed by two opposing brake carrier horns and a longitudinal connector connecting the brake carrier horns. At least one of the brake pads is assigned a pad return device, with which the at least one brake pad can be returned after a brake-dependent shifting and releasing of the brake.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2018Publication date: July 8, 2021Inventors: Andreas PETSCHKE, Michael HIDRINGER, Martin PLEINTINGER, Josef SCHROPP, Tobias FISCHL
