Abstract

A lining carrier ( 1 ) for a disc brake has a friction lining ( 2 ), and the lining carrier ( 1 ) is arranged in a lining carrier shaft ( 6 ) of a brake carrier ( 7 ). The lining carrier ( 1 ) has a front side ( 3 ) which faces the friction lining ( 2 ), a rear side ( 4 ) which faces away from the friction lining ( 2 ), and an edge face ( 5 ) which extends around a perimeter of the rear side ( 4 ) A region ( 8 ) of the edge face ( 5 ) that faces the lining carrier shaft ( 6 ) has a recess ( 9 ). A reinforcing rib ( 10; 10 b ) is arranged centrally on the recess ( 9 ).

Claims (26)

1. A lining carrier ( 1 ) for a disc brake, the lining carrier comprising:

a friction lining ( 2 ),

wherein the lining carrier ( 1 ) is configured to be arranged in a lining carrier shaft ( 6 ) of a brake carrier ( 7 ) and

wherein the lining carrier ( 1 ) includes a front side ( 3 ) that faces the friction lining ( 2 ), a rear side ( 4 ) that faces away from the friction lining ( 2 ), and an edge face ( 5 ) extending around a perimeter of the rear side ( 4 ), and

wherein a region ( 8 ) of the edge face ( 5 ) that faces the lining carrier shaft ( 6 ) includes a recess ( 9 ),

wherein the edge face ( 5 ) includes a reinforcing rib ( 10 ; 10 a ) disposed axially over a width (B) of the lining carrier ( 1 ), in a region of the recess ( 9 ).

2. The lining carrier ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, in relation to the lining carrier ( 1 ), the reinforcing rib ( 10 ; 10 a ) flattens tangentially in the direction of an outer side of the lining carrier ( 1 ).

3. The lining carrier ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing rib ( 10 ; 10 a ) is arranged centrally in a region of a midpoint of a lateral length of the recess ( 9 ).

4. The lining carrier ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lining carrier ( 1 ) has an axial width (B) of greater than 9 mm.

5. The lining carrier ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lining carrier ( 1 ) is a cast component.

6. The lining carrier ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing rib ( 10 a ) extends beyond a radius (R) of the recess ( 9 ) of the lining carrier ( 1 ).

7. The lining carrier ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing rib ( 10 ; 10 a ) is formed as one piece with the lining carrier ( 1 ) and defines a monolithic unitary structure with the lining carrier ( 1 ).

8. The lining carrier ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing rib ( 10 ; 10 a ) divides the recess ( 14 ) into two part regions ( 14 a ; 14 b ).

9. The lining carrier ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the reinforcing rib ( 10 ; 10 a ) includes two side regions ( 15 ; 15 a ) that form a transition between the reinforcing rib ( 10 ; 10 a ) and the part regions ( 14 a ; 14 b ) of the recess ( 9 ).

10. The lining carrier ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 8 , wherein there is no step between the reinforcing rib ( 10 ; 10 a ) and the part regions ( 14 a ; 14 b ) of the recess ( 9 ).

11. The lining carrier ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing rib ( 10 ; 10 a ) extends over an entire axial width (B) of the lining carrier ( 1 ).

12. A lining carrier ( 1 ) for a disc brake, the lining carrier comprising:

a friction lining ( 2 ),

wherein the lining carrier ( 1 ) is configured to be arranged in a lining carrier shaft ( 6 ) of a brake carrier ( 7 ) and

wherein the lining carrier ( 1 ) includes a front side ( 3 ) that faces the friction lining ( 2 ), a rear side ( 4 ) that faces away from the friction lining ( 2 ), and an edge face ( 5 ) extending around a perimeter of the rear side ( 4 ),

wherein the edge face ( 5 ) includes an upper edge face, a lower edge face, a left side edge face, and a right side edge face, each extending from a rear side edge of the rear side to a front side edge of the front side, and

wherein a region ( 8 ) of the edge face ( 5 ) that faces the lining carrier shaft ( 6 ) includes a recess ( 9 ),

wherein the edge face ( 5 ) includes a reinforcing rib ( 10 ; 10 a ) disposed axially over a width (B) of the lining carrier ( 1 ), in a region of the recess ( 9 );

wherein the recess ( 9 ) is defined by the rear side edge being set back relative to the front side edge, wherein the reinforcing rib ( 10 ; 10 a ) is defined by a portion of the rear side edge that is set back at a smaller amount than laterally adjacent portions of the rear side edge, wherein the recess extends laterally outward from opposite sides of the reinforcing rib, such that the reinforcing rib projects from the edge face ( 5 ) within the recess in the direction of the lining carrier shaft ( 6 ).

13. The lining carrier ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the recess is disposed at least along the lower edge face and the reinforcing rib is disposed on the lower edge face.

14. The lining carrier ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the recess is also disposed along the left side edge face and the right side edge face.
