CALIPER BRAKE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18420506 titled 'CALIPER BRAKE
The caliper brake described in the patent application consists of a brake disc that rotates with a wheel, inner and outer brake pads on either side of the disc, a press member to push the inner brake pad against the disc, and a movable caliper housing.
- The brake disc has a hub connected to an axle, with a rubber spacer between the hub and the brake pad, and an accommodation part for the outer brake pad.
- The rubber is positioned at a predetermined distance from the hub in the axial direction to ensure proper contact with the brake pad.
- The accommodation part is formed between the inner surface of the hub and the outer surface of the rubber to house at least a portion of the outer brake pad.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for vehicles such as cars, motorcycles, and bicycles. - Industrial machinery where precise braking is required. - Sports equipment like racing bikes or high-performance vehicles.
Problems Solved: - Improved braking efficiency and control. - Enhanced durability and longevity of brake components. - Better heat dissipation for consistent braking performance.
Benefits: - Increased safety on the road or in industrial settings. - Reduced wear and tear on brake components. - Enhanced overall performance of vehicles or machinery.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized by automotive manufacturers, brake system suppliers, and sports equipment companies to enhance the performance and safety of their products.
Questions about Caliper Brake Technology: 1. How does the rubber spacer contribute to the braking performance of the caliper brake? 2. What are the key advantages of using a caliper brake system over other types of braking systems?
Original Abstract Submitted
The caliper brake includes a brake disc configured to rotate with a wheel, an inner brake pad and an outer brake pad each disposed at one of two sides of the brake disc, a press member configured to press the inner brake pad toward the brake disc, and a caliper housing provided so that the press member is movable forward and backward, wherein the brake disc includes a hub connected to an axle, a rubber provided to come into contact with the brake pad and disposed to be spaced a predetermined distance from the hub in an axial direction, and an accommodation part formed between an inner surface of the hub and an outer surface of the rubber to accommodate at least a part of the outer brake pad.
