Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A manufacturing apparatus 10 for manufacturing a brake lining 41 is provided with a support portion 33 for supporting a brake shoe 43 , a compressing portion 20 for compressively bonding a strip-shaped brake lining 41 to a rim 43 b by compressing a material and a mold portion 31, 32 including a mold frame 32 for shaping lateral surfaces of the brake lining 41 and a pressing member 31 for forming a frictional surface 41 a of the brake lining 41 by pressing the material, so as to shape the brake lining 41 . The mold frame 32 has a first molding surface 32 a for shaping a first side plane 41 b , a second molding surface 32 b for shaping a second side plane 41 c and a third molding surface 32 c disposed at a boundary portion between the first molding surface 32 a and the second molding surface 32 b for continuously connecting the first molding surface 32 a with the second molding surface 32 b by a curved surface.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A shoe assembly of a drum brake comprising: a shoe; and a lining composed of a frictional material and having a strip-shape and compressively molded on an outer circumferential surface of a rim of the shoe, wherein the lining includes a frictional surface and lateral surfaces, wherein the lateral surfaces include: two first side planes which are parallel to a longitudinal direction of the lining; two second side planes which are parallel to a…
