Abstract

The disc-brake lining proposed has a lining-mounting plate, a friction lining mounted on one side of the mounting plate and a noise-damping plate bonded to the other side of the mounting plate. The mounting plate has two apertures which are partly filled with underlayer compound and have countersunk bores. The noise-damping plate has holes located at a series of aligned points and is bent in the shape of a cone at these points. The noise-damping plate is prevented from slipping sideways by screws whose heads fit entirely into the conically bent zones of the noise-damping plate. Instead of screws, a rivet can be used to fix the noise-damping plate in place, the rivet securing both the noise-damping plate and also a chatter-prevention spring on the mounting plate.
