ABSTRACT:
A disk brake and hub assembly for a vehicle wheel has an annular brake housing open at its radially exterior side and has circumferentially spaced openings in its radially inward side for air flow into the housing to cool the working parts of the brake assembly. The housing is formed of two complementary parts, one on the wheel side and the other spaced axially therefrom to leave a channel for the brake disks and fluid operated brake actuating parts. The two parts of the housing form radially extending walls which provide braking surfaces and at circumferentially spaced points have axially extending wall segments which provide a partially closed radially inward side for the housing. These wall segments are integral with yoke-shaped members which extend radially inwardly therefrom and are adapted to be fastened to circumferentially spaced extension arms of the hub flange to secure the housing to the hub for rotation therewith. Air flows between the extension arms through the openings provided in the segmented inner wall of the housing to cool the disk brake assembly and housing. The brake disks can be replaced by removing the wheel side part of the brake housing without dismantling the brake actuating mechanism.
