Abstract
A brake shoe assembly comprises a carrier plate and a brake shoe spring having between its ends a loop-shaped portion. The loop-shaped portion is supported in a recess in the carrier plate which opens onto a peripheral surface of the carrier plate via an opening. The largest width of the recess is greater than the smallest width of the opening. A fastening arrangement retains the loop-shaped portion of the spring in the recess against slipping out of the latter in the axial direction normal to the carrier plate. The fastening arrangement may include a projection in the recess which engages in a slot of the spring, a groove in the recess which partially receives the loop-shaped portion of the spring, or a pair of lugs at the axial ends of the loop-shaped portion of the spring which confine the carrier plate between themselves.
