ABSTRACT:
A brake arrangement is disclosed which includes a wheel support, a wheel borne by the wheel support, a brake drum, at least one brake guide saddle arranged in the brake drum so as to bear against the wheel support, a fluid drive piston arranged in a bore in the guide saddle, the guide saddle having guide lugs extending in a direction parallel to the direction of the bore, the guide lugs delimiting a channel in the peripheral direction, and a brake element placed in the channel so that it may be driven by the piston. In order to improve serviceability and to ensure a long useful life, the at least one brake guide saddle is separate from the wheel support. Retainer elements are provided, which are accessible from the inner side of the wheel, and are detachably connecting the guide saddle with the wheel support; and at their longitudinal sides, the guide lugs, each delimiting such guide channel are bridged over at their longitudinal sides by ribs delimiting the guide channel at the end. Such ribs are detachably secured by retainer elements accessible from the inner side of the wheel, and on the inner side of the wheel, each brake element has a grip bar encompassed by the respective rib.
