Abstract: The invention relates to a brake pad for a disc brake caliper, comprising a support plate with a rear face presenting a support zone and a front face receiving a friction material with a friction zone intended to engage with a brake disc in a friction direction. According to the invention, the center of the support zone is offset relative to the center of the friction zone, in a direction opposite to the friction direction, by a value D, such that 0.1 ?E?D?2 ?E, where: ? is the friction coefficient of the friction zone against the disc; and E is the distance between the friction zone and the center of a mounting surface of the pad, measured orthogonally to the friction zone.

Abstract: A device for controlling the pressure of a tire of an aircraft wheel provided with a rim. The device includes a shell defining an open-ended housing; a system for controlling the pressure of a tire; and an annular band having a tensile strength of between 400 and 1500N. The system is received in the housing of the shell, and the annular band is positioned on a bearing face of the shell opposite the open-ended housing and against transverse retaining means. The device can be positioned around the rim to press the shell against the rim and close off the open-ended housing.

Abstract: The device comprises a leaktight housing which is hydraulically connected between braking elements of the front and rear wheel(s). The housing comprises a body and fittings which enable the hydraulic fluid to flow into the braking elements of the rear wheels until an adjustable set pressure is obtained, after which the pressure is reduced in the braking elements of the rear wheel(s) in a manner which is proportional to the pressure increase in the braking elements of the front wheel(s).

Abstract: A braking device includes a caliper housing having two parallel flanges assembled at each end by a transverse guard so as to define a median opening for positioning pads. The pads have, at each of their upper end, fittings to be supported and guided by shafts acting as slides. The shafts are, over their entire length, engaged in the thickness of the flanges and partly in the thickness of the guards corresponding to a zone where there is no significant deformation. Hysteresis resulting from friction between the pads and the housing is thereby reduced.

Abstract: A motor vehicle braking device includes a piston connected to the hydraulic braking circuit and connected to at least one damping element of the rear wheel or wheels, to measure the load exerted on the rear wheel or wheels. The device also includes a valve able to decrease the pressure at the calipers of the front wheel or wheels and able to supply the necessary load to the rear wheel or wheels of the vehicle to prevent any unwanted lifting of said rear wheel or wheels in the event of heavy breaking.

Abstract: The invention concerns a brake caliper comprising at least two opposite pistons (4 and 5) mounted in a housing (1-2) with fittings for mounting, in two parallel planes, two friction pads (7) and (8) secured to said pistons to act at least on a disc (9). The invention is characterized in that the fittings for mounting the friction pads (7 and 8) consist of means (10 and 11) adapted to pick up the tangent effort of said fiction pads so as to avoid any movement of the latter during braking; the means (10 and 11) adapted to pick up the tangent effort of the fiction pads (7 and 8) are arranged in one or more zones of the housing (1-2) where there is no deformation.
