摘要

The device (50) has a circular ring including an internal cylindrical surface (51). The internal cylindrical surface is in contact with an outer surface of a lining (13) of a segment (3) so as to maintain the segment in the centered position, where the ring is removed before capping operation of a brake plate (1) by a brake drum during assembly of a wheel of a vehicle, and the ring abuts by one of its lateral faces (52) on an inner face (1A) of the brake plate. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a brake plate assembly comprising a fixed plate (2) a method for assembling a wheel of a vehicle.
