APPARATUS FOR MOUNTING/REMOVING BRAKE CALLIPERS AND DISCS

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to the brake calliper and disc mounting/removal apparatus used to mount/remove the brake calliper and disc during brake system maintenance and repair in high tonnage, heavy industry wheeled vehicles and defence industry wheeled vehicles.

More specifically, the invention relates to at least one suspension plate for attaching the apparatus to the work piece, at least one carrier body which carries the brake callipers/disc, at least one rope that is pulled to raise the brake calliper/disc inside the carrier body and loosened to lower it, the brake calliper and disc mounting/removal apparatus containing at least one stop roller with lock used to stop the rope from moving.

PRIOR ART

The automotive sector has parts that differ in terms of design, system, and hardware. As the brake system is one of a vehicle's main systems, the brake calliper is also a key component here. Brake callipers are hydraulic parts which provide the stopping power of the vehicle, house the brake pad, which is manufactured to start pressing the disc to produce this stopping power, and which carry the brake pad and move it to and from the disc. Combined with modern disc systems, they are among the most important systems of the vehicle. When you want to stop or slow down the vehicle, the brake calliper must be activated first. When the pedal is pressed, pressure builds up on the brake fluid. When the brake is pressed, this pressure is transmitted through the master cylinder to the calliper. When the calliper is pressurised, it applies pressure to the piston and presses the brake pads against the disc The operating mechanism generally proceeds like this. Although the mechanism looks simple, it actually has a very detailed and challenging system. It completes the operations necessary to stop or slow down the vehicle with the pressure it provides.

These days, the procedure to replace brake discs and calliper is carried out manually and the difficulty of the operation as well as the occupational safety risks become apparent during maintenance.

In the prior art, given the position in which the callipers are mounted, it is not possible to remove them and the disc with human strength without using any ancillary equipment. This is not good in terms of occupational safety.

As a result, the need for a new cost-efficient, convenient, and practical brake calliper and disc mounting/removal apparatus to solve the aforementioned problems present in the prior art and the inadequacy of the available solutions have made it necessary to make an improvement in the relevant technical field.

PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to the brake calliper and disc mounting/removal apparatus used to mount/remove the brake calliper and disc during brake system maintenance and repair in high tonnage, heavy industry wheeled vehicles and defence industry wheeled vehicles, developed to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages and to bring new advantages to the relevant technical field. The most important purpose of the invention is to make mounting and removing brake callipers, which are very difficult to lift and mount/remove with human strength, easy to do in the field.

The following figures and their detailed descriptions will make the invention's structural and characteristic features and its advantages easier to understand. Therefore, the assessment should be made by considering the images and their detailed descriptions.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

This detailed description describes the preferred embodiments of the brake calliper and disc mounting/removal apparatus only for a better understanding of the subject matter and no limitations should be construed.

Figures 1-5 depict said brake calliper and disc mounting/removal apparatus in detail. In this invention, during the operation to remove the brake disc, the apparatus (100) is attached to the work piece (A) with the help of the suspension plates (130). The dynamic rope (140) is pulled and the brake calliper/disc (B) is seated into the carrier body (150) of the apparatus (100). The special locking mechanism inside the stop roller (120) stops the rope (140) from moving. The brake callipers/disc (B) are removed from the vehicle. The locking system of the stop roller (120) is opened, the dynamic rope (140) is slowly released, and the brake calliper/disc (B) is lowered to the ground. In this invention, the carabiner (110) connects the suspension plates (130) and the stop roller (120) to one another.

In this invention, during the operation to mount the brake disc, the apparatus is attached to the work piece (A) with the help of the suspension plates (130). The dynamic rope (140) is loosened enough to lower the apparatus (100) to a suitable height. The brake calliper/disc (B) is seated into the apparatus' carrier body (150). The locking mechanism on the roller (120) is opened and the brake calliper/disc (B) is raised to the position where it will be mounted by slowly pulling the dynamic rope (4). The special locking mechanism inside the stop roller (120) stops the rope (140) from moving. Then, the brake calliper/disc (B) assembly is mounted.

The scope of protection of this application has been specified in the claims section and cannot be limited to what is explained above for exemplary purposes. It is clear that a person skilled in the art can demonstrate the innovation provided in the invention by using similar embodiments and/or can apply these embodiments to other fields having similar purposes used in the relevant technique. It is therefore obvious that such structures will lack the criterion of innovation and particularly the criterion of exceeding the prior art.
