Swivel bearing for braking devices
First Claim
1. A swivel bearing for a braking device comprising a fixed internal machine part, a sleeve section rotatably mounted to said fixed internal machine part, a spring coupled between said machine part and said sleeve section for generating a relative swivel motion between said machine part and said sleeve section, and a damping element installed, a portion of said sleeve section and said machine part having radial friction surfaces, said internal machine part comprising a flange directed radially outward and having radial friction surfaces, a flange sleeve surrounding said flange axially and radially, means for securing said machine part axially and against torsion at said sleeve section, and said damping element adjoining at least one of the friction surfaces of the flange.

Abstract
In a swivel bearing for a braking device the fixed machine part is provided with a flange which has friction surfaces for damping the swivel motion. A flange sleeve made of sheet metal axially and radially surrounds a flange which adjoins the front side of a sleeve section belonging to the swivel arm. The resulting annular space contains, besides the flange, an axially acting spring washer. The flange sleeve itself may optionally have an axial spring action. The flange sleeve is secured axially and against torsion at the sleeve section by means of a turned edge or similar means. The result is a compact arrangement which does not easily disassemble, even in an unmounted condition.
