Brake shoe mounting with ball bearings for swivelling

摘要

A brake shoe mounting for a vehicle drum brake hinges brake shoes to a brake anchor member to swivel around axes that are substantially parallel to the brake drum axis. To simplify the assembly and disassembly of the brake shoes and to improve the adaptation of surfaces of brake linings to the inner surface of the brake drum that expands under stress, the hinging of the brake lining shoes to the anchor member is achieved by ball bearings.
