Abstract
A plate unusually capable of safe coupling and anti-accidental extraction may have a body which covers a portion of a caliper body. The body may have a front surface, a rear surface and a coupling element for coupling the caliper body. The coupling element may have two coupling arms which protrude in a cantilevered manner. Each of the coupling arms may have a strut. The strut may protrude in a cantilevered manner from the coupling arm. The strut may also have a free end. The struts of the arms form at least one pair being mutually opposite and converging so as to apply a pair of actions which are mutually converging.
Claims11
A covering plate mountable on a brake caliper body, comprising a plate body adapted to cover at least one portion of said brake caliper body;
- said plate body comprising a front plate surface adapted to be arranged opposite to said brake caliper body and which forms at least one display portion adapted to support a logo;
- said plate body comprising a rear plate surface opposite to said front plate surface and adapted to face said brake caliper body;
- wherein said covering plate further comprises at least one coupling element for coupling the covering plate to the brake caliper body;
- wherein said covering plate comprises at least two coupling arms, which, when the covering plate is removed from the brake caliper body, protrude cantilevered from said rear plate surface;
- each of said coupling arms comprises at least one strut;
- wherein said strut protrudes cantilevered from said coupling arm and comprises a free strut end facing towards said rear plate surface;
- and wherein said struts of said coupling arms form at least one pair of mutually opposite and inclined struts arranged on mutually converging directions,
- each of said coupling arms comprises at least one arm slot;
- said at least one arm slot is delimited by a slot edge and wherein said strut protrudes cantilevered from said slot edge;
- and/or wherein
- said strut is formed by a strut straight leaf portion having a strut end edge adapted to rest on the brake caliper body and create a rest on the brake caliper body which applies a compression action in the strut straight leaf portion, which creates a preload in the coupling element and contrasts the removal or separation of the covering plate from the brake caliper body, when said covering plate is mounted on said brake caliper body.
