Abstract
Abstract An internal shoe brake, which is being used as a parking brake in a disc hub, is designed so that it can be preassembled in a ready-to-be-installed fashion. For that purpose, the anchor plate, serving as a cover plate, is mounted to a support by at least two fixing members. The fixing members are provided with heads which mesh free from play with bores provided in the axle support. Fixing of the support and the anchor plate to the axle support is effected through the intermediary of a screw. The screw and the fixing members jointly transmit the circumferential forces onto the axle support.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
122 words
Internal shoe brake for use as a parking brake in a disc brake system comprising: brake shoes; an anchor plate serving as a cover plate and fixedly attached to said brake shoes and an axle support; a stationary support bearing against ends of said brake shoes; a mechanical device for actuating said brake; fixing means for mounting said anchor plate to said support; and a screw mounting said support and said anchor plate to said axle support wherein said anchor plate, said brake shoes, said support and said actuating device form a pre-assembled unit in a ready-to-be-installed fashion wherein said screw and said at least two fixing means jointly transmit circumferential forces onto said axle support, said forces being generated during braking.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
