Abstract:
The invention provides a method of increasing the ventilation in a ventilated disc brake comprising a friction ring  2  and a bell mount  12  defining an internal cavity, by fastening in the cavity an axially inner ventilating structure  200  separate of the friction ring  2  which has vanes  208 a,  208 b  defining channels  209 a,  209 b  aligned with those of the disc brake. The ventilating structure  200  can have a thinner cross section, a lower density, and/or a lower thermal conductivity, than the friction ring  2.  The mount additionally or alternatively includes a ventilator comprising vanes  328 a,  328 b  defining channels  329 a,  329 b  arranged to blow air outwardly from the interior of the cavity in a radial direction towards the caliper  4.

Claim (Index 2):
A brake according to  claim 1 , wherein said friction portion comprises first and second coaxial, parallel annular friction surfaces having ventilation channels running there between aligned at an angle between radial and tangential of said disc so as to pass air outwards from the axially inner ventilating structure, and the axially inner ventilating structure has a plurality of extension channels communicating with said ventilation channels.
