Abstract:
1. A linear application device for a disk brake, the application device comprising: an elongated application shaft extending transversely of an application axis; a brake lever integrally formed with the application shaft; a first support for supporting the application shaft on an application element, wherein the application element is shiftable in a direction of the application axis and non-rotatable; a second support for supporting the application shaft on an abutment, wherein the first and the second supports have arc-shaped support surfaces on the application shaft, the arc-shaped support surfaces each having a direction of curvature and an imaginary center point, wherein the directions of curvature of the arc-shaped support surfaces are the same, but the imaginary centers do not coincide; wherein at least one of the first and the second supports has a support element mounted so as to be shiftable transversely of the application axis; wherein the support element is comprised of a sliding element, wherein one of the abutment and the application element has a first flat slide face and the support element has a second flat slide face, and wherein the second flat slide face directly abuts in sliding contact the first flat slide face, wherein the support element has on a side facing the application shaft a contour which is complementary to a contour of one of the arc-shaped support surfaces, wherein the contour of the support element cooperating with the support surface on the application shaft is rib-shaped, and a compression spring arranged to tension all functional parts of the application device against one another so as to prevent slippage.
