Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2005/108817
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The invention relates to a disc brake comprising a brake support (10), which can be fastened to the vehicle and which is provided with bolts (16a, 16b, 18a, 18b), for axially guiding at least one brake pad (32a, 32b) relative to a disc brake (38). The brake pad (32a, 32b) has U-shaped recesses (40, 40') for the bolts (16a, 16b, 18a, 18b) into which the bolts (16a, 16b, 18a, 18b) are inserted, and during braking, pulling forces and/or pushing forces are intercepted on inner faces (44, 46) of the recesses. The invention is characterized in that an inner face (44, 46) of at least one of the U-shaped recesses (40, 40'), which strikes the bolts (16a, 16b, 18a, 18b) during a brake activation, is at an angle to a central plane (X) of the brake pad (32a, 32b) so that a force (B, B'; R, R') which, during braking, arises between said face (44, 46) and the corresponding bolts (16a, 16b, 18a, 18b) presses the brake pad (32a, 32b) relative to the bolts (16a, 16b, 18a, 18b) into a stable position. The invention also relates to a brake pad (32a, 32b) for use in a disc brake of this type.
