Disk brake, in particular for commercial vehicles, and hold-down spring of such a disk brake
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a disk brake, particularly for commercial vehicles, comprising a hold-down spring ( 2 ) for holding down a force transmission device of the disk brake, wherein the hold-down spring comprises a first holding region ( 4 ) having a first support device for support on a hold-down device in the one circumferential direction of the brake disk of the disk brake and having a second support device for support on the hold-down device in the other circumferential direction of the brake disk. The hold-down spring comprises a second holding region ( 5 ) having a third support device for support on a hold-down device in the one circumferential direction of the brake disk and having a fourth support device for support on the hold-down device in the other circumferential direction of the brake disk. The first holding region is located symmetrically to the second holding region in regards to an axis of symmetry of the hold-down spring that is provided transversally to the longitudinal extension of the hold-down spring.
1. A disk brake, comprising:
a hold-down spring for holding down a force transmission device of the disk brake, wherein
the hold-down spring has a first holding area with a first supporting device for support on a hold-down device in one circumferential direction of the brake disk of the disk brake and with a second supporting device for support on the hold-down device in another circumferential direction of the brake disk,
characterized in that
the hold-down spring has a second holding area with a third supporting device for support on a hold-down device in the one circumferential direction of the brake disk of the disk brake and with a fourth supporting device for support on the hold-down device in the other circumferential direction of the brake disk,
the first holding area is situated symmetrically with the second holding area with respect to an axis of symmetry of the hold-down spring situated across the longitudinal extent of the hold-down spring,
the hold-down device is not situated symmetrically with the force transmission device and
either only the first or only the second supporting device is supported on the hold-down device.
2. The disk brake according to claim 1 , characterized in that the first and/or second holding area(s) has a stop on which a hold-down device is supported in the circumferential direction of a brake disk.
3. The disk brake according to claim 2 , characterized in that the stop is formed on an inverted part.
4. The disk brake according to claim 3 , characterized in that the inverted part extends radially outward.
5. The disk brake according to claim 1 , characterized in that the hold-down device has a hold-down element.
6. The disk brake according to claim 1 , characterized in that the hold-down device is supported on the hold-down spring in two locations.
7. The disk brake according to claim 1 , characterized in that the hold-down spring has at least one recess through which a lug on the force transmission device extends.
8. The disk brake according to claim 7 , characterized in that the recess is situated between a holding area and a free end of the hold-down spring.
9. The disk brake according to claim 1 , characterized in that the hold-down spring has two recesses situated symmetrically with the axis of symmetry through which one lug each on the force transmission device extends.
10. The disk brake according to claim 1 , characterized in that the force transmission device is a brake lining support and/or a pressure plate.
11. The disk brake according to claim 1 , characterized in that the hold-down device is not symmetrical with the force transmission device and either only the first supporting device or only the second supporting device is supported on the hold-down device.
12. The hold-down spring for a disk brake according to any one of the preceding claims.
