Abstract
Abstract The method includes the steps of forming separately a pair of spaced recesses in a carrier plate, the recesses having a parallelogram configuration other than a rectangle and a cross member therebetween providing an axis of symmetry, the recesses being symmetrically disposed with respect to the axis of symmetry to approximate a sector of a circle; pressing and age-hardening separately a plate of friction material having a thickness corresponding to the desired thickness of the friction pads; cutting at least a pair of friction pads from the plate having the dimensions and shape of the recesses; and placing and securing each of the pair of friction pads in a different one of the recesses so that the pair of friction pads are disposed symmetrically with respect to the axis of symmetry to approximate a sector of a circle.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
A method of manufacturing a brake-pad assembly for a spot-type disc brake having a carrier plate and a pair of friction pads comprising the steps of: forming separately a pair of spaced recesses in said carrier plate, said recesses having a parallelogram configuration other than a rectangle and a cross member therebetween providing an axis of symmetry, said recesses being symmetrically disposed with respect to said axis of symmetry to approximate a sector of a circle; pressing and age-hardening separately a plate of friction material having a thickness corresponding to the desired thickness of said pads; cutting at least said pair of pads separately from said plate having the dimensions and shape of said recesses; and placing and securing each of said pads produced in said cutting step in a different one of said recesses so that said pair of pads are disposed symmetrically with respect to said axis of symmetry to approximate a sector of a circle.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
158 words
A method of manufacturing a brake-pad assembly for a spot-type disc brake having a carrier plate and a pair of friction pads comprising the steps of: forming separately a pair of spaced recesses in said carrier plate, said recesses having a parallelogram configuration other than a rectangle and a cross member therebetween providing an axis of symmetry, said recesses being symmetrically disposed with respect to said axis of symmetry to approximate a sector of a circle; pressing and age-hardening separately a plate of friction material having a thickness corresponding to the desired thickness of said pads; cutting at least said pair of pads separately from said plate having the dimensions and shape of said recesses; and placing and securing each of said pads produced in said cutting step in a different one of said recesses so that said pair of pads are disposed symmetrically with respect to said axis of symmetry to approximate a sector of a circle.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
59 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein said step of cutting includes the steps of cutting longitudinal parallel parting lines over the whole length of said plate, and cutting transverse parallel parting lines over the whole width of said plate, each of said parallel parting lines intersecting each of said transverse parting lines at an angle other than 90°.
