PAD, THRUST DEVICE ASSEMBLY, AND BRAKE CALIPER

To realize smooth assembly and reliable connection between a brake pad and a thrust device.SOLUTION: A thrust device can be reversibly connected to a brake pad, and the brake pad includes a support plate and a pin that are constituted to support a friction material and receive the thrust device. The pin is fixed to the brake pad projecting from a plate under a cantilevered condition, and the trust device includes a thrust device body blocking a thrust device cavity. The thrust device includes a holding device. The holding device includes a stationary part, and is restrained to an inner face of the thrust device. The holding device includes a first holding arm and a second holding arm. The pin includes a coupling and inserting part of a first tapered part and a second tapered part respectively tapered in opposite directions. The pin is wedged between the first holding arm and the second holding arm by the first tapered part while the pin is inserted in the thrust device cavity, and the first holding arm and the second holding arm are elastically brought into contact with the second tapered part under an assembling condition.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】ブレーキパッドとスラスト装置との間のスムーズな組立てと信頼性の高い接続を可能にする。【解決手段】スラスト装置は、ブレーキパッドに可逆的に接続可能で、ブレーキパッドは摩擦材料を支持し、スラスト装置を受けるように構成された支持プレート及びピンを含む。ピンは、プレートから片持ち状態で突出するブレーキパッドに固定され、スラスト装置は、スラスト装置キャビティを区画するスラスト装置本体を含む。スラスト装置は保持装置を含む。保持装置は固定部を含みスラスト装置内面に拘束される。保持装置は、第１保持アームと第２保持アームを含む。ピンは互いに反対方向に先細りとなる第１テーパ部と第２テーパ部の結合挿入部含み、ピンをスラスト装置キャビティに挿入する間、第１テーパ部で第１保持アームと第２保持アームの間にピンを楔止めし、組み合わせ状態で第１保持アームと第２保持アームを第２テーパ部に弾性的に当てる。【選択図】図４
