ABSTRACT:
A key boss cap particularly adapted for use with an aircraft wheel surrounded multiple disc brake wherein the wheel is provided with a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart fixed drive keys extending into drivable engagement with a plurality of brake rotor discs. The key boss cap is a U-shaped member with or without flanges and is interposed between the key boss of the wheel and the U-shaped steel cap key which form the drive key assembly to drive the rotors of the disc brake. The key boss cap retards heat transfer from the cap key to the key boss integral with the wheel rim. The flanges on the key boss cap are adapted to keep the edges of wheel rim heat shields positioned between adjacent key bosses from touching the wheel rim thereby preventing heat transfer and vibration damage to the wheel rim.
