Patent number: 9958021Abstract: A brake pad retainer is provided for a disc brake for a commercial vehicle. A pad retaining bracket is supported by pad retaining springs on both sides of a brake disc on a brake pad arranged in a brake caliper. The pad retaining bracket tensions a mounting opening of the brake caliper in the direction of the axis of the brake disc and is maintained at least on one side by a bolt-shaped securing element in a securing eye of the brake caliper. The brake pad retainer is designed such that the securing element is formed from an eccentric bolt having a shaft and at least one eccentric section which is positioned so that it is axially offset with respect the shaft.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2016Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: KNORR-BREMSE Systeme fuer Nutzfahrzeuge GmbHInventors: Christian Brandl, Michael Hidringer

Publication number: 20180106308Abstract: A disc brake includes a brake caliper that engages over a brake disc, the caliper having a central opening over the brake disc. The disc brake has two brake pads which are located in the brake caliper, can be moved in opposite directions and each of which has a pad backing plate with a friction lining secured thereon. An action-side or application-side brake pad of the two brake pads can be pressed against the brake disc by a brake application device with the aid of at least one brake plunger. The brake also has at least one restoring device, by which the brake caliper can be returned. The restoring device has a spreading device which engages on the brake pads lying opposite one another and which acts with an identical force in opposition to the respective application direction. The spreading device has spring-loaded spreading elements, each engaging on its respective pad backing plate.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2017Publication date: April 19, 2018Inventors: Jens FRICKE, Abdelaziz RGUICHI, Thomas EICHLER, Oliver KRAUSE, Matthias KLINGNER, Michael PESCHEL, Tobias SCHOEFBERGER, Philipp ADAMCZYK, Markus MOLNAR, Maximilian HAUSER, Igor NESMJANOWITSCH, Martin HEINDL, Christian BRANDL, Martin PLEINTINGER, Natalie ROTH, Kerstin SAKEL, Franz GASSLBAUER, Martin TROPP, Alexander ASEN
