Abstract

A lining support plate includes a base plate of cast metal and a plurality of pins which extend into the base plate and project from a support surface to anchor a friction lining material on the base plate. In the manufacture of the lining support plate, a support plate pattern (1) with a. plurality of cavities (4) in a lateral face is provided. Pins (6a-6d) are inserted into the cavities and partially protrude from the support plate pattern (1). The support plate pattern (1) and the protruding portions of the pins (6a-6d) are surrounded by a moulding compound which is compressed and/or cured. When the support plate pattern (1) is removed, the pins (6a-6d) are left behind in the moulding compound and a support plate casting cavity is formed. A melt is poured into the cavity, surrounding the portions of the pins (6a-6d) protruding into the cavity. Once the melt has solidified, the lining support plate can be removed from the mould.
