  • Patent number: 9890823
    Abstract: A friction lining or structure of a vehicle disk brake, including an absorption body with a mass MT, with a rear plate including hammer-head-shaped projections and friction material, which is fastened to the rear plate, for bearing against a friction ring, and wherein the projections engage in abutments of receiving recesses in a holder profile for the tangentially fixed holding and the axially displaceable guidance, and therefore introduction of a tangentially directed circumferential force (Fu, friction force) into the holder profile induces a tensile stress in at least one projection. An absorption system for suppressing undesirable vibrations is arranged on the friction lining.
    Type: Grant
