Abstract: The present invention concerns a disc brake having one or more sliding or floating brake discs. The discs are received on a hub by means of splines on the discs and hub, respectively. The discs have means to widen the support of each disc on the hub. Said means may have the form of one or more rings, pins and/or clips attached to the discs.

Abstract: The present invention concerns disc brakes and more precisely a brake disc (2) to central part (3) interface. The disc brake has a caliper (1) receiving one or more brake pads (8) and encircling one or more brake discs (2). At least one of the brake discs (2) is received sliding on a central part (3) in the form of a hub, a sleeve or the like. Said central part (3) is received on a wheel axle or the like. The discs (2) are connected to the central part (3) in a rotationally interlocked but axially sliding way by means of teeth (4, 5), splines or the like. At least contact parts of the teeth (4, 5) or the like of the at least one disc (2) and/or the central part (3) have the form of arcs, seen in the direction of the wheel axis. Said contact parts are the parts of the teeth faces expected to make contact with each other in a released position of the brake.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a torque plate used at a disc brake having a fixed caliper. The torque plate has a first longitudinal part, which is extended in perpendicular direction to the axial direction of a wheel axle to be received in an opening of said first part. Two angled parts are arranged at each end of the first part. The angled parts each have a raised portion, on which a support surface is arranged for contact with the caliper. The support surfaces incline in a direction towards the wheel axle.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a sleeve for a disc brake. The sleeve is furnished with splines (4, 5) on the outer periphery for co-operation with one or more brake discs. The sleeve is to be placed on a wheel axle and is attached to a wheel flange 1 by means of a number of bolts 3 received in threaded openings of the sleeve. A groove is arranged in the sleeve, which groove is parallel with the outer periphery of the sleeve and is open at one end. The sleeve has a generally straight outer periphery allowing the brake disc(s) to be slid off and slid onto the sleeve in any axial direction.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a disc brake comprising a caliper, a brake disc and one or more brake pads received in a pad holder. The brake disc and pad holder are axially moveable in relation to the caliper. The brake disc is coated with a brake lining material on one side. On the other side of the brake disc there is no brake lining. The caliper is designed having cooling flanges extending over a part of the brake lining of the caliper.

Abstract: The brake mechanism for a disc brake is received in a caliper by means of pivots. The brake mechanism comprises a lever, a cross bar, a thrust yoke and an adjuster mechanism. The thrust yoke is provided with braces going diagonally from the center of the thrust yoke down to the backside of the thrust plate. The structure of the thrust yoke ensures that the force is applied in distinct, separated areas of the brake pads. The brake mechanism is held together as one unit which facilitates handling and assembly.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a connection between at least one brake disc (1) and a hub (2) or the like of a disc brake. The brake disc(s) (1) is received slidable and non-rotatable on the hub (2). Each brake disc (1) is furnished with plates (3) on an inner periphery, which plates (3) have a length in the axial direction of the hub (2) exceeding the thickness of the brake disc (1).

Abstract: The present invention concerns a brake mechanism for a disc brake. The brake mechanism is received in a caliper (4) by means of pivots (3). The brake means comprises a lever (1,31), a cross bar (6,33), a thrust yoke (9,34) and an adjuster mechanism (16). The thrust yoke (9,34) is provided with braces (30,36) going diagonally from the centre of the thrust yoke (9,34) down to the backside of the thrust plate. The structure of the thrust yoke (9,34) means that the force is applied in distinct, separated areas of the brake pads (28). The brake mechanism is held together as one unit which facilitates handling and assembly.
