Abstract: A progressive brake lining wear and temperature sensor having a plurality of parallel arranged spaced apart resistors in connection with a sensing circuit. Each resistor is mounted onto a PC board which in turn is encapsulated within a single molding. A thermistor is also mounted onto the PC board within the molding to sense lining temperature. The thermistor is connected to a ground lead. The ground lead, resistance lead and thermistor lead emerge from the encapsulated sensor for connection to the sensing circuit. The sensor is disposed within the brake lining and is connected to the brake shoe by a securement clip. As the brake lining progressively wears, the resistors are progressively worn away thus changing the overall resistance of the sensor. The change in resistance indicates state of wear. Preferably, three resistors are employed to indicate four degrees of brake lining wear.

Abstract: A wear detection probe is provided to cushion an impact from a rotor to the wear detection probe and to hold the wear detection probe in a specified position during the contact with the rotor. For these purposes, a biasing mount plate 16 is formed with biasing pieces 21. A stopper mount plate 15 is formed with stopper pieces 19, and a wear detection probe 10 is provided with locking pins 14. When being subjected to an impact from a rotor R, the wear detection probe 10 moves backward while the biasing pieces 21 undergo an elastic deformation by being pushed by the locking pins 14, with the result that the impact is cushioned. When the wear detection probe 10 moves backward, the locking pins 14 come into contact with the stopper pieces 19 and, accordingly, the wear detection probe 10 is held in contact with the rotor R while being held in the specified position.

Abstract: A brake lining module (10) with electric warning device (12) for indicating excessive friction lining wear comprises a back plate (14), to which a friction lining (16) is fastened, wherein the back plate (14) has a radially situated, friction-lining-free region (18). Disposed close to the back plate (14) in the friction lining (16) is a bore (24), in which a plug (28) is provided, which comprises a head (34) and a shank (32) with a longitudinal groove (38), in which an electric conductor (30) passed through the head (34) is accommodated. Projecting up from the head (34) of the plug (28) is a protective shield (36), which is laterally offset relative to the longitudinal groove (38) and has an extension (46), which at a distance above the head (34) protrudes in the direction of the common center plane (40) of the shank (32) and of the longitudinal groove (38). To reduce the overall radial height and prevent damage to the electric conductor (30), the back plate (14) in the friction-lining-free region (18) has a recess (48) open towards its radial edge and the extension (46) extends from the protective shield (36) over the common center plane (40) of the shank (32) and of the longitudinal groove (38) up to at least approximately the opposite edge of the shank (32). The recess (48) and the bore (24) have center planes which are at least adjacent.

Abstract: A wear detection probe for detection of wear of a braking member is mounted in or adjacent to the braking member. The wear detection probe includes a holder having a detection wire in a wiring path. The detection wire has a folded portion, and two portions extending from the folded portion in a direction substantially parallel to the surface of the brake rotor. An apex of the folded portion of the detection wire is nearer than the straight portions to the wear surface of the holder, so that after a predetermined amount of wear, the folded portion is broken without breaking the straight portions. The probe is compact, and the wire remains securely in position during use.

Abstract: To prevent a detecting electric wire (20) of a brake pad from moving, a stopper member (12) is provided in a holder (10). Two wires (22) extending a wire holder, are made to intersect close to the posterior of a stopper (12), and are maintained in this intersecting state by a cable tie (13). The stopper member (12) engages the intersecting portion (23) of the wire (20) in a posterior direction, thereby preventing the wire (20) from moving in an anterior direction even under a strong pulling force from the rotor R.

Abstract: A system for detecting worn brake linings contains sensors located at predetermined depths in the brake linings. Each brake has a corresponding lamp so a problem with a worn lining can be located. The system contains quick-release connections for each sensor, jumper wires for connecting the two sensors per wheel, resistors, diodes and lamps. The system is self-troubleshooting, and can determine the presence and location of worn brake linings, loose wires, open circuits, shorts, grounds, defective bulbs, and blown fuses. The determination of the presence and location of a problem is made through use of lamps which may be off, glowing at half brilliance, or glowing at full brilliance under specified conditions. When the ignition is off, all the bulbs are off. When the ignition is "on", all the bulbs glow at half brilliance if there are no problems. If all the bulbs are out, it is indicative of a power failure. If individual bulbs are out, it is indicative of a defective bulb or an "open" condition in an individual wheel. If one bulb is glowing at full brilliance, it is indicative of a short or ground in the corresponding wheel. When the ignition is in the "run" position, no lamps should be on. If a lamp lights when the brake pedal is depressed, that indicates a worn brake lining in the corresponding wheel. The system is inexpensive, easy to install, and draws no, or minimal, current in operation.

Abstract translation: 用于检测磨损的制动衬片的系统包含位于制动衬片中预定深度的传感器。 每个制动器都有相应的灯，因此可以找到磨损衬里的问题。 该系统包含每个传感器的快速释放连接，用于连接每个车轮的两个传感器，电阻器，二极管和灯的跳线。 该系统是自我故障排除，并且可以确定磨损的制动衬片，松动的电线，开路，短路，接地，灯泡和熔断器的存在和位置。 确定问题的存在和位置是通过使用可以在特定条件下熄灭，发光达到一半亮度或发光的灯来实现的。 当点火开关关闭时，所有灯泡都熄灭。 当点火开关处于“开”状态时，如果没有问题，所有的灯泡都会以一半亮度发光。 如果所有灯泡都熄灭，则表示电源故障。 如果单个灯泡熄灭，则表示个别车轮中有缺陷灯泡或“打开”状况。 如果一个灯泡以完全亮度发光，则表示相应车轮上的短路或地线。 当点火器处于“运行”位置时，不应该打开灯。 当制动踏板被压下时，指示灯亮起，表示相应车轮上的磨损制动衬片。 该系统价格便宜，易于安装，并且无需使用或最小化电流。

Abstract: A mount construction of a wear detection probe for a brake pad is provided which is capable of absorbing an image caused by a contact of the wear detection probe with a rotor. Coil springs 42 are mounted on bolts 41 used to mount a bracket 30 on a support base 12, and the bracket 30 is held in close contact with the support base 12 by biasing forces thereof. When the probe 20 is brought into contact with a rotor upon the application of braking, the coil springs 42 are compressively deformed, thereby absorbing an impact caused by a contact of the rotor 10 and the probe 20. The mount construction of the probe 20 has an enhanced reliability by absorbing the impact on the probe 20.

Abstract: The wear indicator comprises essentially a coaxial cable (4, 5) of which the conducting core (4) and the conducting sleeve (5) are connected electrically by a socket (6, 6', 6", 6'41 ). One bared end of the core (4) is disposed on a wear limit plane of a lining forming part of a friction member. A rotating member, disc or drum then cuts the end of the core when the lining reaches its permissible wear limit.
