  • Friction pad and support for a disc brake
    Patent number: 3972393
    Abstract: A pad in which an extension is formed with four sliding and bracing edges arranged in pairs to slidably cooperate with corresponding grooves provided in the torque taking member of a disc brake is characterized in that the extension forms a T of which each end comprises a first of the edges substantially parallel to the line of application of the tangential force generated during braking, and a second of the edges inclined with respect to a plane perpendicular to the line of application of the tangential force. The angle so defined is such that the forces transmitted to the torque taking member are minimized.
