Title:
CALIPER AND BRAKE LINING FOR A CALIPER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006074936
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a caliper for a disk brake, especially for motorcycles and/or bicycles, comprising a housing (30) for accommodating brake linings (40) which grip a brake disk during braking. The housing is provided with an abutment area (33) for resting the brake lining during braking in the forward direction of travel as well as an assembly hole (29) which lies across from the abutment area (33) and through which the brake linings (40) can be inserted into the housing (30). The caliper further comprises a mechanism (50) for securing the brake linings on the side located opposite the abutment area (33) in the housing (30) and a device (31) for supporting the brake linings (40) between the abutment area (33) and the mechanism (50) securing the brake linings. The aim of the invention is to create a caliper in which the brake linings can be arranged such that the risk of the brake being spuriously blocked during braking and vibrating during riding is substantially reduced. Said aim is achieved by equipping the caliper with a prestressing device (32) which is embodied so as to prestress a brake lining (40) that is inserted into the housing (30) into a defined position.
