Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
182 words
An organic friction lining pad for use with a copper rotor in a braking system having a composition consisting of: 10-15 percent by weight of phenolic resin; 25-45 percent by weight of asbestos fiber; 10-15 percent by weight of an organic friction modifier selected from a group consisting of rubber scrap, latex, molasses and asphaltic base materials; 3-12 percent by weight of a carbonaceous material selected from a group consisting of graphite and carbon; 15-30 percent by weight of an inorganic friction modifier selected from a group consisting of barytes, whiting, talc and rottenstone; 3-7 percent by weight of an abrasive particle selected from a group consisting of silica, magnesium oxide, zircon, mullite, and alumina; and 7-15 percent by weight of iron powder particles, said phenolic resin being cured to form a binder for retaining said asbestos fiber, organic friction modifiers, inorganic friction modifiers, carbonaceous materials, abrasive particles, and iron powder particles in a fixed relationship to provide said pad with inherent thermal energy absorption capabilities aligned with said copper rotor and maintain a substantially uniform coefficient of friction up to 550°F.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
182 words
An organic friction lining pad for use with a copper rotor in a braking system having a composition consisting of: 10-15 percent by weight of phenolic resin; 25-45 percent by weight of asbestos fiber; 10-15 percent by weight of an organic friction modifier selected from a group consisting of rubber scrap, latex, molasses and asphaltic base materials; 3-12 percent by weight of a carbonaceous material selected from a group consisting of graphite and carbon; 15-30 percent by weight of an inorganic friction modifier selected from a group consisting of barytes, whiting, talc and rottenstone; 3-7 percent by weight of an abrasive particle selected from a group consisting of silica, magnesium oxide, zircon, mullite, and alumina; and 7-15 percent by weight of iron powder particles, said phenolic resin being cured to form a binder for retaining said asbestos fiber, organic friction modifiers, inorganic friction modifiers, carbonaceous materials, abrasive particles, and iron powder particles in a fixed relationship to provide said pad with inherent thermal energy absorption capabilities aligned with said copper rotor and maintain a substantially uniform coefficient of friction up to 550°F.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
The organic friction lining pad, as recited in claim 2, wherein said abrasive particle is alumina.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
The organic friction lining pad, as recited in claim 3, wherein said iron powder particle size of less than 20 mesh.
