Abstract
A friction brake (1) for braking a rail-guided transport device (26), in particular a lift (elevator), having at least one brake lever (15) with a brake lining (4), which can be pressed against a rail (2) in order to brake the transport device (26), and with an actuator (6) for actuating the at least one brake lever (15). According to the invention, a solid body joint (36) is proposed, which has at least one web (37) to which a brake lever (3) is fastened, wherein the web (37) twists about the longitudinal axis (38) thereof when the brake lever (3) performs a pivoting movement. Moreover, according to the invention, means (42, 42′, 50, 52) are provided, which limit or prevent deflection of the web (37) in the lateral direction (x).
