Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A heat shield assembly for a braking system is provided. The heat shield assembly includes a circumferential heat shield having a first end and a second end spaced from the first end along a central axis. A tab member is disposed proximate the second end of the circumferential heat shield. The tab member has a radially extending portion with an aperture extending therethrough. The aperture is configured for mounting the circumferential heat shield to a wheel.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A heat shield assembly, comprising: a circumferential heat shield having a first end and a second end spaced from the first end along a central axis; and a tab member disposed proximate the second end of the circumferential heat shield, the tab member having a radially extending portion with an aperture extending therethrough and being configured for mounting the circumferential heat shield to a wheel, an axially extending first portion connected to the second end of the circumferential heat shield, wherein the radially extending portion is a second portion extending radially inward from the first portion toward the central axis, a plurality of arms forming the first portion and the second portion, the first portion including a first end of each arm connected to the circumferential heat shield and the second portion including a second end of each arm terminating proximate the aperture, wherein the first arm and the second arm are non-integral, and the second end of each arm includes an individual aperture that centrally aligns to form the aperture of the tab member. 2. The heat shield assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first portion of each of the tab members is formed integrally with the second end of the circumferential heat shield. 3. The heat shield assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first portion of each of the tab members is connected to the second end of the circumferential heat shield by a weld. 4. The heat shield assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first portion of each of the tab members is connected to the second end of the circumferential heat shield by a fastener.
