Patent ID: 7377368

Claim:
Disc brake comprising a brake carrier provided with at least two bolts, for guiding a brake lining axially in relation to a brake disc, wherein the brake lining includes recesses for the bolts, in which recesses the at least two bolts are respectively received and engage in such a way, that during braking, tensile forces and compressive forces are absorbed on inner faces of the recesses, wherein central axes of the at least two bolts span a plane which has a smaller radial distance from a brake disc axis than a centre of area of a friction lining of the brake lining, wherein each of the at least two bolts makes linear contact in the respective recesses of the brake lining, and wherein the recesses in the brake lining in which the at least two bolts engage are U-shaped recesses, and wherein the relative arrangements and dimensions of the at least two bolts and the brake lining are such that when a braking force is initiated which decelerates the vehicle up to a maximum value in the range of approximately 0.1 g, only tensile forces act upon the brake lining.
