Disc brake for a vehicle and method for assembling the components thereof

Vehicle disc brake having a crown and a brake bowl, the crown comprising at least one circular flange establishing an internal space for the insertion of the brake bowl, the brake bowl comprising a circular base and lugs extending radially and externally from the circular base, wherein the crown comprises a number of fingers protruding externally into the internal space of the crown, wherein each of the lugs of the brake bowl are adapted to accommodate one of the number of fingers and axially guide the one of the number of fingers and accommodate expansion of the crown and the number of fingers during operation of the vehicle,

• wherein each of the lugs comprises a distal hood form having an internal space with at least one access opening adapted to receive one of the number of fingers of the crown, the number of lugs being equal to the number of fingers,
• wherein the at least one access opening of each of the lugs is oriented in a same direction,
• wherein the internal space of the distal hood of each of the lugs includes a radially directed travel limitation area oriented to maximize strength of each of the lugs as a function of braking stresses,
• wherein the hood form of each of the lugs comprises two parallel branches defining the internal space,
• wherein the internal space of each of the lugs comprises a bottom opposite the at least one access opening, and
• wherein, after assembly of the brake bowl and the crown, wherein each of the lugs of the brake bowl have received one of the fingers of the crown, the at least one access opening of each of the lugs is distorted to limit circumferential movement of the fingers within the internal space while permitting axial movement.
