Abstract

A brake drum includes an outer drum, at least one layer of heat resistant adhesive, provided at least on the inner radial surface of the outer drum, and an inner drum provided inside the outer drum connected with the outer drum via the at least one adhesive layer.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A brake drum, comprising
an outer drum, at least one layer of heat resistant adhesive, provided at least on an inner radial surface of the outer drum, an inner drum provided inside the outer drum connected to the outer drum via the at least one adhesive layer, wherein at least one additional layer of heat resistant adhesive is provided at least on an inner radial surface of the inner drum, an additional inner drum provided inside the inner drum connected to the inner drum via the at least one additional layer of heat resistant adhesive, wherein the layer of heat resistant adhesive is provided between the outer drum and the inner drum, and the additional adhesive layer is provided between the inner drum and the addition inner drum.

2 . The brake drum according to claim 1 , wherein the inner drum is formed with one closed base side.

3 . The brake drum according to claim 1 , wherein the inner drum is formed with two open base sides.

4 . The brake drum according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one layer of heat resistant adhesive is thermally insulating.

5 . The brake drum according to claim 1 , wherein further additional layers of heat resistant adhesive and further additional inner drums are nested within the inner drum.

6 . The brake drum according to claim 1 , wherein the inner drum is additionally secured inside the outer drum via mechanical means.

7 . The brake drum according to claim 1 , wherein the outer drum and the inner drum are formed of different materials.

8 . The brake drum according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one additional inner drum is made of a material different from the material of the outer drum and the material of the inner drum.

9 . The brake drum according to claim 8 , wherein the materials have different thermal expansion coefficients.

10 . The brake drum according to claim 1 , wherein a wall of the outer drum comprises at least one cavity.

11 . The brake drum according to claim 1 , wherein a wall of the inner drum comprises at least one cavity.

12 . The brake drum according to claim 10 , wherein the at least one cavity is filled with thermally insulating material.

13 . A method of producing a brake drum according to claim 1 , wherein
at least one of the outer drum and the inner drum is provided by casting or sheet bending, at least the layer of heat resistant adhesive is provided by additive manufacturing methods.

14 . A drum brake assembly for a motor vehicle, comprising
a brake drum according to claim 1 , at least one brake shoe arranged within the brake drum, at least one brake cylinder connected to the at least one brake shoe, wherein the at least one brake shoe is displaceable by the brake cylinder relative to the brake drum, such that during braking the brake shoe contacts the brake drum.
