Improvements in self-energising disc brakes.

摘要

@ In a self-energising disc brake of the spreading type the anular position of a pressure plate (5, 6) in a retracted .brakes- off» position is determined by an adjuster member comprising a cam (38, 56) which cooperates with the plate and of which the relative position is adjustable. The cam is carried by a cam shaft (23) which is radially or axially arranged, and is accessible from the exterior of the housing (4). The cam may be incorporated into and comprise the stop abutment for arresting angular movement of one of the plates when the brake is applied.
