US Patent:

20060231354, Oct 19, 2006

Filed:

Apr 6, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/399573

Inventors:

Warren Gilliland - Camarillo CA, US

International Classification:

F16D 55/228

US Classification:

188073470, 188072500

Abstract:

A brake apparatus includes a caliper with two housing members secured together by an E-section cage. The housing members straddle a rotor, so as to be able to urge one or more pistons disposed therein to apply brake pads against the rotor, thereby effectuating a braking force on the rotor. The E-section cage provides support for the housing members and reduces the clam shell effect generated by application of the breaking force.

US Classification:

188 725

Abstract:

A brake assembly, for causing brake pads to brake a rotor having opposite sides, comprises first and second caliper sections, and piston chambers associated with the sections. Pistons are movable in the chambers to cause the pads to frictionally engage the opposite sides of the rotor. Structure interconnects the caliper sections; and there is porting in the structure to transmit fluid pressure to the chambers to cause the pistons to displace the pads to frictionally grip the rotor, for braking same.
