Title: Disc brake lining wear sensor
IPC: F16D66/02
Filed: 1989-06-14
Granted: 1993-09-08
Abstract: A disc brake lining wear sensor (40) comprises a plastic encapsulated lining wear sensor (40) having a support bracket (42) which is attached to a support member (12) of the disc brake (10). The inner brake pad (16) has a peripherally projecting portion (17) and the caliper (22) has a peripheral caliper projecting portion (23). The sensor (40) extends axially from a longitudinal mid-portion (46) into two oppositely disposed and axially extending end portions (48, 50). Each of the end portions (48, 50) is connected with the mid-portion (46) by a sloped or ramped surface (52, 54). A metal conductor (55) is encapsulated within the wear sensor (40) and disposed adjacent the surfaces (52, 54) of the end portions (48, 50). As the inner (20) and outer (21) linings wear, the peripheral portion (17) of the inner brake pad (16) is displaced axially by the piston (24) of the caliper (22) so that the projecting portion (17) wears away or erodes the associated surface (54) of the sensor (40) and engages the metal conductor (55) to complete a circuit. Likewise, the caliper (22) moves axially away from the rotor (14) as the outer lining (21) wears and the peripheral caliper projecting portion (23) wears away the plastic material of the associated surface (52) to engage the metal conductor (55) and activate a warning circuit.

Abstract: Due to the dimensions of the enclosure, determined by the picture tube, television receiving sets in most cases have too narrow a base width for radiating the stereophonic sound. To widen the base, it is therefore appropriate to connect external loudspeaker boxes. For receiving sets with integrated active boxes, a circuit arrangement is disclosed which allows passive wideband loudspeaker boxes to be operated externally instead of the set-internal loudspeakers, the transmission characteristics of the set-internal frequency-selective amplifiers being switched to wideband amplification with the aid of a separately operated switch or a socket switch. <IMAGE>
