Abstract: A pad for a disk brake comprising a plate for supporting a friction lining which can come into contact, at the braking stage, with a disk associated with the brake is characterized in that the pad comprises weights associated rigidly with the plate for varying the mass of at least one portion of the plate so as to achieve an inertia of the pad that substantially prevents vibrations of the pad which could cause noise of the disk brake during braking.

Abstract: A bypass valve-delay valve assembly for an electric-hydraulic braking system of an electrically driven vehicle which includes a bypass valve section in which the hydraulic braking circuit ducts are obstructed by a solenoid operated valve activated by an electric signal generated by brake pedal depression, and a delay valve section in which the hydraulic fluid is obstructed by a delay valve arranged in a regulator piston whose maximum stroke equals the pressure corresponding to the maximum energy recovery performance generated by the electric drive motors' braking action. Pressure exceeding the maximum energy recovery performance of the drive motors causes the delay valve to open adding hydraulic braking to the electric drive motor braking.

Abstract: Braking system for electrically driven vehicles, equipped with electric motors on the four wheels, consisting of a combined electric-hydraulic system including at least one hydraulic circuit mated to at least one pressure transducer or sensor connected to control centers for the electric motors.
