Abstract

The present invention is a drum brake shoe assembly (8) having an improved support structure (31) which limits the lateral travel of the leading brake shoe (13), to thereby reduce or eliminate audible impacts between the brake shoe (13) and the backing plate (10) of the drum brake assembly. In accordance with the invention, two or more spaced apart hold down devices (30, 31) are provided on the leading brake shoe (13) while a single hold down device (30) is used on the trailing brake shoe (12). Each of the hold down device includes a hold down pin (32) connected at a first end (38) to the backing plate (10) of the drum brake assembly. The second end (40) of each hold down pin (32) extends through an opening (36) in the web (18) of the brake shoe (14). Springs such as coils springs (42) or the like are disposed between the second ends of the hold down pins (32) and the brake shoe web (18) for urging the brake shoe (14) against the backing plate (10).

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS[received by the International Bureau on 15 December 1998 (15.12.98); original claim 1 amended; remaining claim unchanged (1 page)]
1. A drum brake assembly comprising: a) a backing plate; b) a pair of brake shoes mounted on said backing plate, said pair of brake shoes including a leading brake shoe and a trailing brake shoe, wherein said leading brake shoe has a greater tendency for lateral movement towards or away from said backing plate than said trailing brake shoe during braking; c) only a single hold down device extending through said trailing brake shoe at a single location for retaining said trailing brake shoe against said backing plate; and d) at least two spaced apart hold down devices extending through said leading brake shoe for retaining said leading brake shoe against said backing plate and inhibiting said greater tendency for lateral movement of said leading brake shoe.
2. The invention defined in claim 1 wherein said hold down devices include spring assemblies for urging said leading and trailing brake shoes into engagement with said backing plate.
10 STATEMENT UNDER ARTICLE 19
By the submission of the attached replacement page 9, the applicant has amended claim 1 to more particularly point out and distinctly claim the invemion. The claims pending in the application are claims 1 and 2. No new matter has been added pursuant to the amendment of the claims.
