MARKING BRAKE LININGS

摘要

The present invention relates to marking friction linings for drum brakes or for single-block brake pads in which the friction lining and the support member are made together by moulding a single material. According to the invention, the back (5) of the friction lining or the back (5) of the single-block brake pad (1) is provided with an insert (6) that is not oxidisable and that withstands a temperature of greater than 200 DEG C, the insert (6) having a surface (6a) that is visible outside the lining or the pad (1) and that is suitable for acting as a medium to carry indelible information. Advantageously, the insert (6) is in the form of a tongue (7), that projects towards the top of the brake calliper.
