Patent number: 12128707Abstract: A wheel of a vehicle and having: a central hub; a peripheral ring, on which a tire can be fitted; and a series of spokes, which are arranged radially and connect the peripheral ring to the central hub. Each spoke has three initial branches, which are distinct and separate from one another, originate from different portions of the central hub and, at a given distance from the central hub, join one another so as to form one single central branch, which ends in the peripheral ring.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2021Date of Patent: October 29, 2024Assignee: FERRARI S.P.A.Inventors: Daniel Longhi, Thierry Annequin-Digond, Alberto Bodini

Patent number: 11759844Abstract: A method and a plant for the production of a rim for a wheel of a vehicle. At first and by means of an additive manufacturing process, a temporary rim is manufactured, which is provided with a central hub, with a raw ring arranged around the central hub and with a series of spokes, which are radially arranged and connect the raw ring to the central hub; subsequently, the temporary rim is subjected to a flow-forming process, which deforms the raw ring determining an axial lengthening thereof, which transforms the raw ring into a channel having the desired final shape.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2022Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: FERRARI S.P.A.Inventor: Daniel Longhi

Patent number: 11401990Abstract: A spring device for a disc brake, a pad and spring assembly for a disc brake, a brake caliper, and a disc brake is described. The spring device may have a spring body having prevalently longitudinal development, with at least one coupling portion, to couple in a snapping manner the spring device to a portion of an associable brake caliper in a removable manner. The spring pad assembly may have at least one brake pad having at least one ramp surface, inclined with respect to the radial direction and to the tangential direction, which forms an abutment reference for the at least one thrust surface of the spring device. The at least one ramp surface of the support plate puts in traction the spring device.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2017Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: Freni Brembo S.p.A.Inventors: Davide D'Alessio, Matteo Costa, Daniel Longhi

Patent number: 10731719Abstract: A pad assembly adapted to be mounted in a caliper body for a disc brake has a pad-housing pocket. The disc brake defines an axial direction, either coinciding or parallel with the direction of the rotation axis of the brake disc associable with the caliper body, a radial direction (R-R), orthogonal to the axial direction, and a tangential (T-T) or circumferential (T-T) direction, orthogonal both to the axial direction and to the radial direction (R-R). The pad-housing pocket has at least one pocket wall to form a tangential abutment for a brake pad associable with the caliper body. The pad assembly has a brake pad having a support plate, adapted to form a support for at least one associable friction material, where the support plate has a main extension along the radial (R-R) and tangential (T-T) directions.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2016Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: Freni Brembo, S.p.A.Inventors: Cristian Crippa, Massimo Raffaeli, Andrea Milanesi, Mirko Castellana, Daniel Longhi

Patent number: 10690202Abstract: A pad for a brake caliper for a disc brake of a vehicle having a caliper body and a brake disc adapted to abut against a braking band of the brake disc. The pad has at least one plate and one friction material supported by the plate. The plate has a first side and a second side arranged at opposite tangential ends of the plate. The plate also has at least a first side ear and at least a second side ear. The two ears are each provided with slots. The two slots are adapted to accommodate corresponding associable pins mounted to the caliper body with clearance.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2017Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: Freni Brembo S.p.A.Inventors: Cristian Crippa, Adriano Bonetti, Lorenzo Nessi, Daniel Longhi
