Zusammenfassung:A vehicle brake shoe assembly (10) having a brake shoe platform (12) incorporating a plurality of extensions (100) which project through the brake friction material matrix (22) to the outer friction surface (24) of the brake shoe assembly (10). Each extension (100) is configured to cooperate with the brake friction material matrix (22) to engage a surface of an opposing friction element, increasing the static and dynamic friction performance of the assembly (10) beyond that achieved from the engagement of the brake friction material matrix (22) and the surface of the opposing friction element alone.
