  • DISK BRAKE CALIPER HAVING RE-ENFORCING BRIDGE
    Publication number: 20070089943
    Abstract: A brake apparatus includes a caliper with two housing members secured together by a C-section bridge. The housing members straddle a rotor, so as to be able to urge one or more pistons disposed therein to apply brake pads against the rotor, thereby effectuating a braking force on the rotor. The C-section bridge provides support for the members and reduces the clamshell effect generated by application of the breaking force.
    Type: Application
    Filed: November 21, 2006
    Publication date: April 26, 2007

  • Disk brake caliper having cage bridge
    Publication number: 20060231354
    Abstract: A brake apparatus includes a caliper with two housing members secured together by an E-section cage. The housing members straddle a rotor, so as to be able to urge one or more pistons disposed therein to apply brake pads against the rotor, thereby effectuating a braking force on the rotor. The E-section cage provides support for the housing members and reduces the clam shell effect generated by application of the breaking force.
