Abstract

See full text

A brake pad backing (1) for a drum brake has a backing surface (2) that receives at least one friction pad (3). At least one opening (4, 4″) arranged inside the backing surface (2) is produced by shaping a material section (5, 5′) of the brake pad backing (1) so that when the friction pad (3) is pressed onto the backing surface (2), the material section (5, 5′), together with the opening (4, 4′), forms an impression cavity (6). The material section (5, 5′) projects from the brake pad backing (1) at one or more prescribed angles α in the pressing direction (7). In addition, a lateral guide (20) to guide the brake pad backing plate (1) in the housing of the brake assembly such as, for example, the brake drum, may be formed by bending or folding the edge (8) of the brake pad backing plate (1). The bent edge (8) is provided on several edge sections (11, 12, 13) of the appertaining lengthwise side (10) of the brake pad backing plate (1) that lie to the side of the backing surface (2) for the friction pad (3).
