Abstract
A heat shield installation for a tire-supporting wheel and brake assembly having a rim member with an inner surface that surrounds a heat sink composed of stator and rotor brake discs which may extend axially beyond the rim member. A plurality of circumferentially spaced torque bars are located between the heat sink and the inner surface of the rim member with such torque bars slidably engaging notches in the outer periphery of the rotor discs. An interior heat shield is located between the inner surface and the torque bars with fasteners interconnecting such heat shield and torque bars to the rim member. An exterior heat shield of cylindrical configuration having a plurality of circumferentially spaced series of louvers is secured to the rim member to protect the interior heat shield and brake discs.
