Abstract
A brake caliper has a retention spring to eliminate excessive movement of the pressure plates or pad pin with respect to the caliper housing. The retention spring has a pad pin contacting portion to exert a force on the pad pin. The spring includes a retention portion continuous with the pad pin portion to provide counterforce to maintain the pad pin in position.
Description
- The present invention relates to brake calipers and, more particularly, to brake pressure plate retention springs.
- Brake calipers surround wheel rotors to brake or slow the movement of the rotor and, in turn, a machine or vehicle. In order to slow the movement of the rotor, the caliper includes brake pads or brake pressure plates with a friction material which contacts the rotor to stop movement of the rotor. Some brake or pressure pads generally are of the hanging type. Thus, the pressure plate includes an aperture which enables a pad pin to pass through the aperture to secure it with the caliper housing. In order to prohibit noise or rattling of the pressure plate on the pad pin, large springs are used to exert a force on the pressure plate to keep it in position. In other types of hanging pressure plates, the plates include a small hole with tight tolerances so that the guiding pad pin fits tightly in the pressure plate hole. The same can be said of the caliper aperture. This can lead to corrosion which, in turn, can lead to difficult servicing, high drag and potential binding of the pads. Thus, it is desirable to have a hanging pressure plate that has a large clearance hole to reduce corrosion and minimize concerns. The extra clearance must then be taken up by the return clip.
- The present invention provides the art with a pressure plate retention spring. The retention spring has a compact design and is inexpensive to manufacture. The present invention enables a pressure plate to be used with a large opening wherein the retention spring takes up the play to reduce noise and rattle of the pressure plate on the brake caliper housing.
- In accordance with the present invention, a retention spring includes a pad pin contacting portion which exerts a force on the pad pin and a pressure plate. The spring also includes a retention portion which is continuous with the contacting portion. The retention portion provides a counterforce to retain the spring clip in position. The retention spring may be coupled between the pad pin and the pressure plate or be mounted on a pad pin support on the caliper housing.
- From the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and claims, other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art.
-
FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of a brake caliper in accordance to a first embodiment in the present invention. -
FIG. 2 is an enlarged partial side plan view ofFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the retention spring ofFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a brake caliper including a second embodiment of the present invention. -
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of one of the springs ofFIG. 4 . -
FIG. 6 is a cross-section view of a second or auxiliary spring ofFIG. 4 . - Turning to the figures, particularly
FIG. 1 , a brake caliper is illustrated and designated with thereference numeral 10. The caliper includes ahousing 12 with a pair ofpressure plates housing 12. Thepressure plates friction material 18 which abuts a rotor (not shown) to stop rotation of the rotor. Thepressure plates support portion 20 which includes anaperture 22 to enable apad pin 24 to pass therethrough to secure thepressure plates caliper housing 12. Thepad pin 24 has its ends secured inhousing support members housing support members - Turning to
FIG. 2 , aretention spring 30 is illustrated positioned in theaperture 22 of one of thepressure plates retention spring 30 is normally positioned in both of thepressure plates retention spring 30 includes a padpin contacting portion 32 andretention portions retention portions retention spring 30 has an overall figure eight configuration being open at one of its sides opposing the padpin contacting portion 32. Ordinarily, the padpin contacting portion 32 has a concave surface which is complementary to the convex arcuate portion of thepad pin 24. However, the contactingportion 32 may be flat. Theretention portions walls aperture 22. The ends of theretention portions pin contacting portion 32. - The
retention portions walls retention spring 30 within theaperture 22. A force F2 is exerted by the padpin contacting portion 32 to force the pad pin against thewall 42 of theaperture 22. - Also, the
retention portions wall portion 44 ofaperture 22. Thewall 44 exerts a counterforce on theretention portions pad pin 24. Theretention spring 30 retains the pad pin, as well as the pressure plates, in position to substantially reduce noise and rattle which may occur due to vibration of the caliper. - Turning to
FIGS. 4 and 5 , a second embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. Thebrake caliper 10 is substantially the same as that inFIG. 1 and has been identified with the same reference numeral. Likewise, the pressure plates, as well as the pad pin and pad pin support members, are the same and have been identified with the same reference numeral. -
Retention spring 50 surrounds thepad pin support 26 to exert a force on thepad pin 24. Theretention spring 50 has an overall closed rectangular shape with twogreater legs 52 and 54 and twolesser legs greater legs 52 and 54 both include padpin contacting portions 60 and 62. These padpin contacting portions 60 and 62 may have an arcuate concave surface to receive thepad pin 24. As can be seen inFIG. 5 , theretention spring 50 is positioned surrounding thepad pin support 26. Thepad pin 24 contacts the contactingportion 60 and 62 forcing thespring 50 downward at that area. In turn, thelesser legs supports pad pin 24. In turn, this forces the contactingportion 60 and 62 to exert an upward force on thepad pin 24 to maintain the pad pin in position to reduce noise and rattle due to vibration. - Also, the design my include an
additional spring member 80. Theadditional spring member 80 has an overall H shape with itsvertical legs 82 and 84 in contact with a surface of thepressure plates legs 82 and 84 apply a downward force on both of thepressure plates horizontal leg 86 of thespring 80 may include an arcuate concave portion to contact thepad pin 24. Thehorizontal leg 86 as seen inFIG. 6 , is raised with respect to thevertical legs 82 and 84 so that when thehorizontal leg 86 is positioned on thepad pin 24, a downward force is exerted onto thelegs 82 and 84. This downward force, is in turn, exerted on thepressure plates pressure plates - The retention springs and auxiliary springs can be stamped from a metal spring material. Also, the retention spring could be manufactured from a metal wire material. The retention springs are relatively small and have a minimal cost. The springs provide necessary forces between the pad pin and pressure plates to reduce excessive movement which causes noise or rattle. Also, due to the minimal contact between the retention springs and the other elements, a potential for corrosion is reduced.
- While the above detailed description of the invention is merely exemplary in nature, variations that do not depart from the gist of the invention are intended to be within the scope of the invention. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention.
