Title:
Disc brakes and restoration springs for automobiles with plastically deformable restoration springs
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP6326100
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A disc brake for a motor vehicle brake system and a restoring spring arranged therein, the disc brake comprising the following: a brake support which has at least one receiving region; a brake lining arrangement which has a brake lining support and a brake lining which is attached to the brake lining support and which can be brought into interaction with a brake disc in order to achieve a braking effect, wherein the brake lining arrangement is received in the at least one receiving region in a guided manner via a guiding portion formed on the brake lining support; and at least one restoring spring which engages the brake lining arrangement and biases the brake lining arrangement under elastic deformation into a starting position that does not produce a braking effect. The at least one restoring spring can be plastically deformed in order to compensate for brake lining wear. To improve the wear compensation by means of the restoring spring, rests against the brake support via a base portion and has at least one limb which is connected to the base portion via a connecting region and which is arranged at an angle relative to the base portion, the angle changing under the effect of plastic deformation as the brake lining wear increases.
