Abstract

935,171. Disc brakes. GIRLING Ltd. Feb. 15, 1960 [Nov. 15, 1958], No. 36826/58. Class 103 (1). A disc brake has friction pads 10 mounted on the inner ends of co-operating calliper levers 12, 13, the outer end of lever 13 being positively guided so that the radial position of the brake pad on lever 13, relative to a wheel or disc axis, is maintained substantially constant throughout the wear life of pad 10. The calliper levers are interconnected by a yoke 14, the lever 12 being pivoted to a fixed pin 15 and lever 13 being connected by a pin 17, guided in slot 23, to an actuator rod 18 incorporating a slack adjuster 22. As the pads wear, adjuster 22 moves pin 17 in the arcuate slot 23 to take up wear. In Fig. 2 (not shown), the lever 13 is connected directly to the actuator and the other lever is coupled by a pin to a slack adjuster, the pin being guided in an arcuate slot. Whilst in Fig. 3 (not shown), the ends of two actuated calliper levers of brakes on aligned wheels are each connected by a pin to a balance bar coupled through a slack adjuster to an actuator, the pins working in slots in the balance bar and in a fixed bracket.
