Patent number: 11078975Abstract: A resetting device by which a brake caliper can be reset after a braking-induced displacement and release of a brake. The resetting device has a spreading device which has resilient spreading elements. The spreading device is arranged in a central opening of the brake caliper. The spreading elements engage, outside the friction pads, directly or indirectly on one side at at least two abutment regions arranged spaced apart from one another relative to the center, of the brake pads, where the abutment regions have one abutment surface and one bearing surface on which the spreading elements are movably arranged. The spreading device has spring arms, of which in each case two lie against an associated pad carrier plate, where the spring arms are connected to one another in the central region of the opening. The spring arms are connected to a retaining bow which is attached to a brake carrier.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2020Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: KNORR-BREMSE Systeme fuer Nutzfahrzeuge GmbHInventors: Jens Fricke, Abdelaziz Rguichi, Thomas Eichler, Oliver Krause, Matthias Klingner, Michael Peschel, Tobias Schoefberger, Philipp Adamczyk, Manfred Schoenauer, Martin Pleintinger, Markus Molnar, Franz Gasslbauer, Martin Tropp

Patent number: 10670091Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: December 15, 2017Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: KNORR-BREMSE Systeme fuer Nutzfahrzeuge GmbHInventors: Jens Fricke, Abdelaziz Rguichi, Thomas Eichler, Oliver Krause, Matthias Klinger, 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

Patent number: 10563713Abstract: A disc brake has a brake caliper, which reaches over a brake disc, is designed as a sliding caliper, is fastened to a stationary brake bracket and has a central opening over the brake disc. Two brake pads, which are arranged in the brake caliper and can be moved in opposite directions each have a backing plate and a friction lining fastened thereto. An action-side brake pad can be pressed against the brake disc by an application device by way of at least one brake piston. At least one restoring device is provided, by which the brake caliper can be returned after displacement and release of the brake caused by braking, wherein the restoring device has a spreading device, which acts on the brake pads lying opposite each other and acts in the same way against each particular application direction and has resilient spreading elements that act on the respective backing plates.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2017Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: KNORR-BREMSE Systeme fuer Nutzfahrzeuge GmbHInventors: Jens Fricke, Abdelaziz Rguichi, Thomas Eichler, Oliver Krause, Matthias Klingner, Michael Peschel, Tobias Schoefberger, Philipp Adamczyk, Manfred Schoenauer, Martin Pleintinger, Markus Molnar, Franz Gasslbauer, Martin Tropp
