Abstract
The invention relates to a brake of the kind having a rotary member to be braked, at least one brake shoe, a control member for applying the brake shoe to the rotary member, and a heat shield for minimizing the transmission of heat to the control member. According to the invention, the heat shield is carried by the control member and comprises a heat reflector interposed between the control member and the rotary member. This arrangement significantly reduces heat transmission to the control member during operation. The invention is especially suitable for motor vehicle brakes in which the rotary member comprises parallel twin discs.
