Abstract

A rim for a wheel and brake assembly having a lug on the radially inner surface integral with the rim and positioned for torque transmission between axially slidable brake members and the rim. The lug has an inner face spaced from the radially inner surface of the rim and is recessed at a position along the lug with the thickness of the lug at the recess being less than at other positions along the lug to reduce the stresses in the lug and rim.
