Abstract
A brake lining carrier particularly for disk brakes having divided lining elements has a base plate on which is positioned an intermediate plate to support a carrier plate upon which is attached the friction lining. The intermediate plate has a number of indentations which form bulges. Bulges result in a certain degree of elasticity which provides a mobile elastic mounting support for the friction lining which may be made of sintered metal. The result is virtually noiseless braking with uniform surface application and without the generation of 'hot spots'.
