Abstract
A brake lining assembly for a wheel brake of a vehicle braking system includes a backing plate and a friction pad overlying the backing plate. An engagement panel is disposed between the backing plate and the friction pad for securing the friction pad to the backing plate. The engagement panel includes a plurality of engagement apertures to secure the friction material to the backing plate. The surface area of the panel is greater than the space defined by the engagement apertures. The panel thus forms a rigid frame for the friction pad, and provides structural support.
