DRUM BRAKE OPERATING IN SIMPLEX MODE AND/OR IN SERVO-DUAL MODE

摘要

A motor vehicle drum brake (10) includes: two braking segments (18A, 18B); an anchoring element (28) including two bearing surfaces (32A, 32B) of two second ends (24) of the braking segments (18A, 18B); a wheel cylinder (34) which, in a first “simplex” operating mode, is suitable for transversally separating the adjacent first ends (22) of the segments (18A, 18B); the anchoring element (28) including: a fixed body (42) wherein two sliding pistons (50A, 50B) each carry a bearing surface (32A, 32B); and elements (44) for separating the pistons (50A, 50B) between an anchoring position wherein they abut against the body (42), and a sliding position wherein the pistons (32A, 32B) are separated to allow the sliding thereof during operation in so-called “servo-dual” mode.
