BRAKE DISC INSERT ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18179172 titled 'BRAKE DISC INSERT ASSEMBLY

The abstract describes an insert assembly for positioning on a brake disc, consisting of an insert, a rivet, and a washer. The insert fits within a disc slot of the brake disc, while the rivet secures the insert to the disc by extending through a washer hole and a rivet slot. The washer is positioned between the insert and the rivet head, allowing for relative motion in the tangential direction when torque is applied through the disc slot.

  • The insert assembly includes an insert, a rivet, and a washer.
  • The insert fits within a disc slot of the brake disc.
  • The rivet secures the insert by extending through a washer hole and a rivet slot.
  • The washer is positioned between the insert and the rivet head.
  • The rivet slot allows for relative motion in the tangential direction when torque is applied.

Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for brake systems - Manufacturing of brake components

Problems Solved: - Secure positioning of inserts on brake discs - Allowing for relative motion under torque

Benefits: - Improved stability and performance of brake systems - Enhanced durability and longevity of brake components

Commercial Applications: - Brake system manufacturers - Automotive repair shops

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the insert assembly improve the performance of brake systems? 2. What materials are typically used in manufacturing these insert assemblies?

Frequently Updated Research: - Ongoing studies on the impact of insert assemblies on brake system efficiency and safety.


Original Abstract Submitted

In some examples, an insert assembly includes an insert, a rivet, and a washer configured to position on a brake disc. The insert is configured to position within a disc slot of the brake disc. The rivet shank is configured extend through a washer hole of the washer and a rivet slot of the insert to secure the insert to the brake disc. The washer is configured to be positioned between the insert and a rivet head of the rivet when the rivet shank extends into the brake disc. The rivet slot is configured to allow for the motion of the insert relative to the rivet in the tangential direction when torque is imparted through the disc slot via the insert. In some examples, the rivet is a solid rivet. In some examples, the rivet head is an orbitally riveted head fabricated using an orbital riveting tool.
