Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention concerns a Brake carrier ( 10 ) for disc brake arrangement ( 11 ), the disc brake arrangement ( 11 ) having brake pads ( 24 ) that are displaceable relative to a brake disc ( 100 ), wherein the brake carrier ( 10 ) is configured to support the brake pads ( 24 ) during their displacement; wherein the brake carrier ( 10 ) comprises at least a first portion ( 14 ) that is arrangeable on a first side ( 13 ) of the brake disc ( 100 ), a second portion ( 16 ) that that is arrangeable on a second side ( 15 ) of the brake disc ( 100 ) and two connecting portions ( 18, 20 ) each connecting the first and second portions ( 14, 16 ); wherein at least one of the connecting portions ( 18, 20 ) comprises an air channel ( 12 ) having a first end ( 34 ) that is arranged so as to face towards the brake disc ( 100 ). Also disclosed is a disc brake arrangement ( 11 ) comprising such a brake carrier ( 10 ).
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A Brake carrier for disc brake arrangement ( 11 ), the disc brake arrangement having brake pads that are displaceable relative to a brake disc, wherein the brake carrier is configured to support the brake pads during their displacement; wherein the brake carrier comprises at least a first portion that is arrangeable on a first side of the brake disc, a second portion that that is arrangeable on a second side of the brake disc and two connecting portions each connecting the first and second portions; wherein at least one of the connecting portions comprises an air channel having a first end that is arranged so as to face towards the brake disc; and wherein the air channel has a second end facing towards the brake disc, the first and second ends being fluidically connected by the air channel. 2 . The brake carrier of claim 1 , wherein at least a section of the air channel is configured as a recess in a surface of the brake carrier. 3 . The brake carrier of claim 1 , wherein at least a section of the air channel has a closed circumference. 4 . The brake carrier of claim 1 , wherein a cross-section of the air channel decreases towards the first end. 5 . The brake carrier of claim 1 , wherein the first end is positioned adjacent and/or opposite to a gap between brake pad and brake disc. 6 . The brake carrier of claim 1 , wherein the air channel has a non-straight course, in particular an angled course. 7 . The brake carrier of claim 1 , wherein a cross-section of the air channel increases towards the second end. 8 . Disc brake arrangement comprising: a brake carrier according to claim 1 ; a pair of brake pads slidably supported by the brake carrier; a brake disc to be braked by the brake pads.
