Floating caliper-type disk brake for automotive vehicles

Set of brake pads for floating-caliper disc brake

This invention relates to a spot-type disc brake, in particular for automotive vehicles, with a housing straddles a brake disc in a U-shaped manner and has a housing bridge, a first housing leg having a piston-and-cylinder unit, and a second, external housing leg, with a first brake shoe which has a carrier plate and is arranged on the first, piston-side leg, with a second brake shoe which has a carrier plate and is arranged on the second, external housing leg and supports the housing radially relative to the brake disc's axis and with projections on the carrier plate which supports the brake shoe in the radial direction and in the circumferential direction. According to this invention, the projections on the carrier plate of the brake shoe are arranged outside the circumference of the brake disc.

Spot type disc brake

A spot-type disc brake, in particular for motor vehicles, comprises a brake housing enclosing the rim of a brake disc and further comprising brake pads arranged on both sides of the brake disc and still further comprising at least one piston-cylinder-type actuating device. In order to reduce the influence of the heat generated during braking, the brake housing is formed with at least one ventilation channel arranged close to the brake disc beside a brake pad shaft which accommodates the brake pads.
