Abstract
A disk brake having a cylindrical drive member extending axially from one side flange of a wheel. The cylindrical drive member has axially extending keyslots which engage radially outwardly extending ears or keys on rotatable brake disks and cause the disks to rotate with the wheel. The keyslots are open at one end and have a reinforcement member bridging the open end of the keyslots to provide added hoop strength to the cylindrical drive member. The reinforcement member is preferably a circular metal band riveted to the periphery of the drive member adjacent the open end of the keyslots.
