ABSTRACT:
A vehicular brake assembly comprises brake shoes and a brake disc. The brake shoes are fastened to a sheet plate and mounted inside an inner drum portion of the brake disc. The brake disc is operatively connected to an axle placed within a stationary axle housing that carries a mounting flange. The sheet plate is fastened to the mounting flange. An anchor pin is attached to the mounting flange and an opening is made in the sheet plate for the anchor pin to project therethrough to thereby serve as an abutment surface for the brake shoes transferring any force exerted on the brake shoes directly to the mounting flange. The brake disc is operatively engaged with a caliper adapted to grip an outward portion of the brake disc. The caliper slides are provided on the mounting flange to receive the caliper. A method of making a flange for the braking structure comprises the steps of having a flange intended to match an axle housing and preferably made as a pre-stamped metal sheet part, the flange being provided with mounting holes; placing the prefabricated flange into a form (mold); and casting an anchor pin and caliper slides onto respective surfaces of the flange.
