Abstract: A device including a brake lining or the like friction lining, such as a brake shoe, which device is more economical and simpler to produce and avoids squealing due to loosening and separation of the lining relative to its support. The brake lining device of the present invention includes a rigid metal support, a lining of friction material provided with apertures therethrough; these apertures form a narrower inner portion and a wider outer portion, a cap, of metal, having a cup-shape and a flat annular flange, is engaged in each aperture with the flange in abutment against the shoulder portion defined between these outer and inner aperture portions, and having its closed end axially tensioned away from the flange and electrically welded against the metal support.
