Abstract:
A heat shield element for a brake caliper of a disc brake, capable of providing complete radial and axial protection for the brake caliper, which is arranged straddling a disc brake disc and having a vehicle-side elongated portion and an opposite wheel-side elongated portion connected to each other by at least one caliper bridge. The element has a heat shield element body having at least two opposite snap engagement tongues adapted to snap-engage a portion of the brake caliper to interpose the heat shield element body between the brake caliper and the disc brake disc and support the heat shield element engaged with the brake caliper.

Claim (Index 20):
A method for obtaining a heat shield element, according to  claim 19 , wherein the following steps are provided:\n providing a flat sheet; cutting said flat sheet to shape; molding an arched back; and subsequently or simultaneously molding at least two opposite snap engagement tongues; and subsequently or simultaneously molding at least two opposite side shield portions orthogonal to said arched back; and/or wherein the step of cutting said flat sheet to shape is a shearing step; and/or wherein subsequently or simultaneously with the molding of the arched back spacers are molded suitable for limiting the resting areas of the element on a caliper; and/or wherein shearing to shape provides for shearing a plurality of side shield portions and the step of engagement of side shield portions arranged side by side and contiguous to each other is provided; and/or wherein said thermal shield element is snap engaged to a caliper bridge, so that it shields heat radiation of a brake disc; and/or wherein said heat shield element is snap engaged to a caliper bridge, so as to allow the passage of air between the heat shield element and the brake caliper.
