Patent number: 9175737Abstract: A drum brake module for motor vehicles operable by electric motor and performs at least one parking brake function, having an electromechanical actuator mounted on one side of the armature plate and a rotational-translational movement converter converting a rotational drive rotational movement into a translational activation movement of brake shoes arranged on a side of the armature plate facing away from the actuator in a brake drum, and including at least one supporting device between the brake shoes such that the latter can carry out an activation movement in the direction of the brake drum. A drive nut is supported by the rotational-translational movement converter in an axially secure and rotatable fashion on the armature plate to assist the braking force. The drive nut drives a spindle arrangement mounted in a rotationally fixed and axially displaceable fashion and engages with an activation cable on at least one brake shoe.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2012Date of Patent: November 3, 2015Assignee: Continental Teves AG & Co. oHGInventors: Uwe Bach, Holger von Hayn, Ralf Sundheim, Wolfgang Ritter, Ahmed Sefo, Jürgen Balz, Jens Hoffmann, Martin Semsch, Götz Mehner, Dirk Sundheim

Patent number: 8807295Abstract: A brake caliper of a disk brake, includes a housing having a bore hole, in which an axially displaceable piston is arranged, and a shaft for actuation, which is supported so that it is rotatable and axially displaceable in the housing, and an adjusting device having a spindle to compensate for brake lining wear, an axial bearing being provided between the spindle and the shaft. For an improved wear resistance, it is proposed according to the invention that the axial bearing be integrally formed from a homogeneous material matrix.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2010Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Continental Teves AG & Co. oHGInventors: Sebastian Salzmann, Götz Mehner, Ralph Petri, Christoph Kalff

Patent number: 8037810Abstract: A piston for a hydraulic brake configured as a bowl, open on one side, with a longitudinal axis, a wall and a bottom, and is delimited on an open end face by a rim with an axial abutment surface which is movable into abutment on a brake pad. The bottom has an essentially plane outside surface, a wall thickness of the bottom is thicker than a minimum wall thickness of the wall, and at a transition area between bottom and wall, a wall thickness of the wall is continuously increasing towards the bottom, thus, the wall passing over into the bottom in a slope. Furthermore, a method including forming a disc-shaped round blank into a bowl-type hollow cylinder, and upsetting the hollow cylinder in its longitudinal axis so that the bottom material is thickened due to the upsetting operation.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2006Date of Patent: October 18, 2011Assignees: Continental Teves AG & Co. oHG, Sander Umformtechnik GmbH & Co., KGInventors: Hans-Dieter Leidecker, Götz Mehner, Matthias Würz, Norbert Leidecker, Uwe Zeibig, Herwig Bauer

Publication number: 20070272501Abstract: Disclosed is a spot-type disc brake (1) having a spring assembly (10, 20) for active adjustment of a clearance between a brake lining (4) and a brake disc. A spring assembly (10, 20) of this type ensures that the brake linings (4) are appropriately lifted from the brake disc after brake application is completed. In this arrangement, the spot-type disc brake (1) includes a brake caliper (3) straddling a brake disc, at least one brake lining (4) displaceably arranged in relation to the brake caliper (3), at least one actuating device (5) arranged in the brake caliper (3) for exerting an application force on the brake lining (4), and a spring assembly (10, 20) which is detachably fastened in the spot-type disc brake (1).Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2004Publication date: November 29, 2007Inventors: Rolf Weiler, Stephan Heiderick, Hans Bungert, Gotz Mehner, Christoph Sander

Patent number: 5472068Abstract: A cast-aluminum floating caliper of a floating-caliper spot-type disc brake is reinforced by means of reinforcing elements of a high-tensile material. In accordance with one embodiment of this invention the floating caliper is provided with recesses in an area adjacent the brake disc and the brake shoes. Bolts extend through the recesses in the direct vicinity of the radially outside brake disc edge. Commercially available steel bolts preferably are used. These measures optimize the floating caliper weight, stiffness and manufacturing cost.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 1993Date of Patent: December 5, 1995Assignee: ITT Automotive Europe GmbHInventors: Rolf Weiler, Helmut Ruckert, Gotz Mehner
