Latest Patents
Jakovljevic's latest patents include an "Apparatus and method of machining brake components." This invention relates to an improved apparatus and method for finish machining brake components. The apparatus includes an electrode ring adapted to be secured to a rotatable shaft. The electrode ring features a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart electrodes that are electrically connected to a power supply. Each electrode is arranged adjacent to each other around the circumference of the electrode ring. The apparatus also includes a positioning mechanism for positioning a rotating, electrically grounded rotor adjacent to the electrode ring until sparks are formed between them. These sparks vaporize a portion of the rotor surface, creating a finished surface with the desired dimensions.
Another significant patent is the "Brake rotor with non-directional braking surface." This invention describes a brake rotor that includes a radially inner mounting section with a central mounting face for attaching the rotor to a wheeled vehicle. The mounting face has multiple fastener apertures and a central aperture. A hat wall extends axially from the periphery of the mounting face. The rotor also features a radially outer annular friction section, which has a pair of opposite friction surfaces machined to predetermined dimensions. Each machined friction surface is non-directional, meaning it does not include directional indentations, but rather features non-directional indentations such as dimples or pits.
