CLOVERLEAF BRAKE STRUCTURE

摘要

Disclosed is a brake structure for use with a plurality of discs all aligned in a common plane and driven by a common pinion. The brake structure is mounted centrally between the discs and includes a housing on one side of the discs which includes a piston overlying each of the discs. The anvil portion of the brake assembly is located on the opposite side of the discs and is rigidly fastened to the piston housing. The brake assembly is secured to fixed supports by pins extending through the anvil and piston housings. The brake assembly is free to move along the pins in a direction normal to the discs so that uniform pressure is applied on the piston and anvil sides of the discs regardless of the amount of lining wear.
