Patent number: 9638275Abstract: A brake calliper has two arms, each including a housing and a stub. A member for guiding a disc brake pad is disposed in the housing, and is secured by lugs to a front of the stub. The member includes a body having a U-shaped section formed by an inner radial surface, a base, an outer radial surface, and includes a tongue that extends beyond an edge of the body, and that is configured to be hooked in the housing and to fully lock the member in the arm. An inner side of the body is bordered by an inner front supporting surface disposed against an inner surface of the arm. An outer front supporting surface is disposed against the front of the stud, extends into a hairpin damper spring extending towards the front of the stud, and is bordered on each side by a tongue that form side end-stops.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2012Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Simon Bernard, Sandra Merrien, Roger Mahoudeaux

Patent number: 9574628Abstract: A radial spring for a disk brake pad and brake pads and brakes provided with such radial springs, in which the radial spring is for the lug of a brake pad. The spring includes a clamp and a supporting loop. The clamp is formed of a straight arm, an undulating bottom, and an arm in the shape of a Z, followed by the loop connected by a bend, followed by a bend with a large radius of curvature connected to the pad terminated by a turn that is almost at a right angle to the extremity of the pad.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2012Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: ROBERT BOSCH GMBHInventors: Simon Bernard, Sandra Merrien, Roger Mahoudeaux

A member for guiding a disc brake pad is disposed in the housing, and is secured by lugs to a front of the stub. The member includes a body having a U-shaped section formed by an inner radial surface, a base, and an outer radial surface. An inner side of the body is bordered by an inner supporting surface located on an inner surface of the arms, and an outer supporting surface of the body is disposed against a front of the stud. The out supporting surface extends into a supporting surface toward the front of the stud. The body further includes a locking tongue that extends beyond an edge of the body, and is configured to be hooked in the housing.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2012Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Simon Bernard, Sandra Merrien, Roger Mahoudeaux

Patent number: 9400023Abstract: A guideway for a motor vehicle disc brake is configured to mount at least one brake pad in a slidable manner with respect to a brake disc along an axially oriented axis of sliding. The guideway includes at least one brake pad application element which is configured to act axially. The guideway is fixed to a fixed carrier, and includes an elastically deformable leg and a guide face that has a contact zone. The elastically deformable leg is configured to exert a constant elastic force. The guide face includes a damping element. The elastically deformable leg further includes a bent-over portion configured to contact the at least one brake pad such that the guide face is opposite a contact zone of the at least one brake pad.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2012Date of Patent: July 26, 2016Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventor: Roger Mahoudeaux

Patent number: 9217480Abstract: A disc brake pad includes lugs, each of which is provided with a groove that receives the tongue of a coiled spring disposed in a housing in the brake yoke. The aforementioned groove has an essentially mixtilinear rectangular section, of which the base is formed in cross-section by a central portion in the form of a convex root face forming a support extending on each side into a fillet recessed from the supporting plane. The fillet joins the respective side of the groove behind the supporting plane.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2012Date of Patent: December 22, 2015Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Simon Bernard, Sandra Merrien, Roger Mahoudeaux

Patent number: 8443949Abstract: The cartridge (22) comprises a body (24), a rotary control plate (28) driving a push plate (30) in a translational movement, elastic means (38) of compressing the push plate (30) towards the control plate (28), and a cage (40) for holding the elastic means (38). The body (24) comprises a projection (42) for attaching the cage (40), collaborating with an attachment orifice (46) formed in an axial tab (44) of the cage (40). The cage (40) is capable of a rotational movement between an attachment position in which the attachment orifice (46) collaborates with the projection (42), and a release position in which the cage (40) is not attached to the body (24). The body (24) comprises a first limit stop (50) that limits the rotation of the cage (40) with which the tab (44) collaborates in the release position. The body (24) comprises a ramp (60), adjacent to the first limit stop (50). In the release position (40), the tab (44) rests radially against the projection (42) and the ramp (60).Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2011Date of Patent: May 21, 2013Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Roger Mahoudeaux, Xavier Laurencin
