The brake pad includes a backing plate and a friction pad.

The brake table further defines a plurality of sleeves proximate a first end of the brake table.

A pair of arcuate drum brake shoes (30, 32) are supported relative to the backing plate (16).

The invention further relates to a brake pad backing plate (2) and a retaining spring (4) for a brake pad backing plate.

A brake lining wear indicator is attached to a drum brake shoe backing plate adjacent the brake lining.

The assembly (10) comprises a backing plate (12), a block of friction material (14) secured to a surface (16) of the backing plate (12), and a spring (22) secured to the backing plate (12) at an edge region thereof.

The mating part (16) could be a backing plate, a frame member, or a brake lever compartment.

The brake backplate (17) is rigidly linked to a brake piston (18) which extends through the electromagnet (11).

A spring pressure brake (3) has a brake backplate (17) in engagement with an electromagnet (11).

The actuator (40) is free to float relative to the backing plate (18), and the levers (42, 46) are located within a housing (70) attached to the backing plate (18).

The brake shoe assemblying further includes a backing plate depending from the brake shoe (2) in the region of the hinge means (27, 28) for mounting the brake shoe (2) to a brake shoe assembly support.

The invention concerns a drum brake having a brake anchor plate which is divided into a support member (10) and a backplate (22).

A drum-in-hat brake assembly (10) having first (12) and second (14) brake shoes retrained on a backing plate (16) by first (18) and second (20) pins connected to the backing plate (16).

Further embodiments describe an integral hollow guide sleeve (5) which is detachably secured directly on the brake anchor plate (3) or floating calliper (2).

The brake shoe includes an arcuate brake table defining a radially outer side configured to receive a brake lining and a radially inner side opposite the radially outer side.
