Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
138 words
A brake motor adapted to be used with a caliper braking means comprising: a body portion adapted to be attached to a wheel of a vehicle and rotate therewith; a head portion attached to said body, said head having friction surfaces thereon, said friction surfaces positioned so as to allow engagement of said surfaces by brake pads located on and actuated by said caliper, said friction surfaces being coated with a wear resistant material including about 30 to 70 percent by volume of a ceramic particulate material selected from the group consisting of metal carbides and metal nitrides and about 30 to 70 percent by volume of a binder metal compatible with the ceramic particles and the rotor wherein said metal is an alloy of a base metal selected from the group consisting of iron, nickel and copper.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
138 words
A brake motor adapted to be used with a caliper braking means comprising: a body portion adapted to be attached to a wheel of a vehicle and rotate therewith; a head portion attached to said body, said head having friction surfaces thereon, said friction surfaces positioned so as to allow engagement of said surfaces by brake pads located on and actuated by said caliper, said friction surfaces being coated with a wear resistant material including about 30 to 70 percent by volume of a ceramic particulate material selected from the group consisting of metal carbides and metal nitrides and about 30 to 70 percent by volume of a binder metal compatible with the ceramic particles and the rotor wherein said metal is an alloy of a base metal selected from the group consisting of iron, nickel and copper.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
