Abstract:
1. A brake lining carrier plate to hold a friction lining, comprising: a brake lining carrier plate having a lining side defining a surface to which the friction lining is joinable, where said surface has a peripheral edge; and holding structures for the friction lining arranged in two or more linear rows on the lining side of the brake lining carrier plate, wherein each holding structure has a depression formed in the surface and a protrusion formed of at least a portion of material displaced from the surface when the depression is formed, which formation defines the direction and width of a respective linear row of holding structures, and wherein the protrusion and the depression of each holding structure lie one behind the other in the direction of the respective linear row and on a straight axis of said respective linear row, said protrusions engageable with the friction lining, and wherein the holding structures are arranged so that at least two holding structures are formed in a direction opposing at least two other holding structures in each respective linear row, and there is a protrusion at the beginning of each row, and a protrusion at the end of each row, and no row begins or terminates with a depression, so that protrusions at the beginning and end of each respective linear row are disposed adjacent to the peripheral edge and arranged so as to abut one or more edges of the friction lining when said lining is engaged to the brake lining carrier plate.
