Patent ID: 7648007

Claim:
Disc brake pad for a brake disc having a centre adapted to coincide with the rotary axis of the brake disc, comprising friction elements including a plurality of small groups of friction elements, a base plate, and consisting of a plurality of elongated support elements, each of said elongated support elements having fixing means in the middle, a main longitudinal axis oriented substantially perpendicular with respect to a ray passing through said fixing means and the rotary axis at the centre of the brake disc pad, and projecting and freely movable ends, each of said small groups being mounted on one of said support elements, said support element supporting the associated small group of friction elements so that each element in the group is spaced from said fixing means, said fixing means mounting the support element associated with said fixing means spaced from the base plate, whereby the longitudinal axis of each support element of said pad has an orientation determined by the angular position of said ray about said rotary axis, all of said elements in each of said small groups being centered on said main longitudinal axis of an associated one of said support elements.
