Brake shoe for a spot-type disc brake

摘要

A brake shoe for a spot-type disc brake includes a carrier plate composed of several plates lying on top of one another, a backing plate and a friction pad secured to one surface of the backing plate. One surface of the carrier plate adjacent the friction pad includes flanges at the ends thereof to embrace the backing plates and the other surface of the carrier plate remote from the friction pad includes flanges to engage a supporting member of a brake housing to transmit the circumferential force at the friction pad during braking to the supporting member.
