Disc Brake Pad Cushions
US Patent:
2007029, Dec 27, 2007
Filed:
Aug 25, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/895585
Inventors:
Philip Adams - Tallahassee FL, US
International Classification:
F16D 65/78
US Classification:
1882180XL, 165041000
Abstract:
Cushions for disc brake pads are disposed between the brake pads and their caliper pistons or caliper fingers. The cushions possess such characteristics of resilience that, during braking action, brake pads follow irregularities and ride over high spots on rotor faces. This action significantly reduces uneven frictional drag, which lowers braking temperature increasing braking efficiency and brake system longevity. Each cushion comprises a resilient body which is further comprised of either a material, such as an elastomeric pad, or a structure such as a compressible spring or other apparatus.
Disc Brake Pad Cushions
US Patent:
2006028, Dec 28, 2006
Filed:
Jun 25, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/166569
Inventors:
Philip Adams - Tallahassee FL, US
International Classification:
F16D 65/78
US Classification:
1882180XL
Abstract:
Cushions (& ) for disc brake pads (& ), cushions being disposed between said brake pads and their corresponding caliper pistons () or caliper fingers (). Cushions possess such characteristics of resilience that, during braking action, brake pads are allowed to “follow” the irregularities (ride over the high spots) on their corresponding rotor faces (). This action significantly reduces frictional drag, which lowers braking temperature. Lower braking temperature translates directly into increased braking efficiency and brake system longevity. Each cushion comprises a resilient body—either a material, such as an elastomeric pad; or, a structure, such as a compressible spring; or, a device, such as a hydraulic or pneumatic damper—and a means for securing the cushion in place, such as spot welds, clips of various designs, adhesives, rivets, screws, mating physical features, or et cetera.
