  • Publication number: 20240084864
    Abstract: An assembly may have at least one plate and a caliper body. The plate may have at least one protuberance which, when the plate is separated from the brake caliper body, extends in a cantilevered manner from the plate. The caliper body may also have at least one housing accommodating the protuberance, which can take a plurality of positions. The assembly may also have connecting means, which move from a disengaging position, which allows modifying the relative position between the protuberance and the housing, to an engaging position, in which the connecting means make the protuberance integral with the housing. The connecting means move from the disengaging position to the engaging position by means of a threaded member.

  • Publication number: 20240084863
    Abstract: A plate unusually capable of safe coupling and anti-accidental extraction may have a body which covers a portion of a caliper body. The body may have a front surface, a rear surface and a coupling element for coupling the caliper body. The coupling element may have two coupling arms which protrude in a cantilevered manner. Each of the coupling arms may have a strut. The strut may protrude in a cantilevered manner from the coupling arm. The strut may also have a free end. The struts of the arms form at least one pair being mutually opposite and converging so as to apply a pair of actions which are mutually converging.

  • Publication number: 20230341015
    Abstract: A caliper body has a first elongated vehicle-side element, a second elongated wheel-side element, a central caliper bridge connecting the first elongated vehicle-side element to the second elongated wheel-side element and having a first bridge end portion, a central bridge portion extending between the first elongated vehicle-side element and the second elongated wheel-side element, and a second bridge end portion. The first and second bridge end portions respectively connect the central bridge portion to the first elongated vehicle-side element and the second elongated wheel-side element. The central caliper bridge has a pair of bridge ribs forming a trench therebetween and extending seamlessly running along the first bridge end portion, forming a pair of first end rib portions, the central bridge portion, forming a pair of central rib portions, and the second bridge end portion, forming a pair of second end rib portions.
