Cover plate for a disc brake
A cover panel ( 1 ) for a disc brake ( 2 ) for covering an installation opening ( 5 ) of the disc brake ( 2 ), wherein the disc brake ( 2 ) comprises a brake carrier ( 13 ) and a brake caliper ( 3 ) sliding on the brake carrier ( 13 ) axially in the direction of an application side (Z) or axially in the direction of a rim side (F).
1. A disc brake ( 2 ) comprising:
a brake carrier ( 13 );
a brake caliper ( 3 ) sliding on the brake carrier ( 13 ) axially toward an application side (Z) or axially toward a rim side (F);
an installation opening ( 5 ) defined in the brake caliper ( 3 ) for removing and for fitting brake pads; and
a cover panel ( 1 );
wherein the cover panel ( 1 ) includes a cable guide ( 6 ) for fixing a cable ( 7 );
wherein the cover panel ( 1 ) extends substantially across an axial width and a circumferential length of the installation opening and substantially covers the installation opening, wherein the cover panel extends across substantially the entire installation opening;
wherein the cover panel includes a plurality of spaced apart fixing elements along the cable guide for securing a cable in the cable guide, wherein cable guide, cover panel, and the fixing elements are monolithically formed as a one-piece homogenous structure.
2. The disc brake ( 2 ) of claim 1 , wherein the cover panel extends fully across the circumferential length of the installation opening.
3. The disc brake ( 2 ) of claim 1 , wherein a circumferential length of the cover panel is greater than an axial width of the cover panel.
4. The disc brake ( 2 ) of claim 1 , wherein the cover panel defines a curvature corresponding to a curvature of the brake caliper ( 13 ) such that the brake caliper and the cover panel combine to define a generally continuous curvature.
