  • High friction brake shoe assembly
    Patent number: 6860368
    Abstract: A vehicle brake shoe assembly having a brake shoe platform incorporating a plurality of extensions which project through the brake friction material matrix to the outer friction surface of the brake shoe assembly. Each extension is configured to cooperate with the brake friction material matrix to engage a surface of an opposing friction element, increasing the static and dynamic friction performance of the assembly beyond that achieved from the engagement of the brake friction material matrix and the surface of the opposing friction element alone.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 3, 2003
    Date of Patent: March 1, 2005
    Assignee: Federal-Mogul World Wide, Inc.
