ABSTRACT:
A disc brake assembly utilizing pelletized brake lining material in a torque absorbing chamber is disclosed. The chamber is positioned around and over the disc and radially inward on opposite sides of the disc. The chamber has an internal cavity for the storage of brake lining pellets therein and a mechanism for moving the brake lining pellets against the disc to transfer torque from the disc to the cavity. A mechanism replenishing the brake lining pellets in the cavity of the chamber when at least one of the brake lining pellets is expended is also provided. In the preferred embodiment, a magazine pellet feeder mechanism, coacting with a pawl, feeds the brake lining pellets from a reservoir to the cavity in the chamber. In an alternate embodiment, a screw type pellet feeder mechanism coacts with a pawl to feed the brake lining pellets from a reservoir to the cavity in the chamber.
