## Abstract

A method for attaching friction lining elements to a friction lining support includes providing a friction lining and a friction lining support, punching a plurality of friction lining elements out of the friction lining, and gluing the plurality of friction lining elements to the friction lining support with an adhesive film. In an example embodiment, punching the plurality of friction lining elements out of the friction lining includes punching out the adhesive film. The method may include supplying the adhesive film to the friction lining support.

## Claims

### Claim at position 1

-10. (canceled)

### Claim 11

A method for attaching friction lining elements to a friction lining support comprising:
providing a friction lining and a friction lining support;
punching a plurality of friction lining elements out of the friction lining; and,
gluing the plurality of friction lining elements to the friction lining support with an adhesive film.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, wherein punching the plurality of friction lining elements out of the friction lining includes punching out the adhesive film, the method further comprising supplying the adhesive film to the friction lining support.

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11 comprising applying the adhesive film to the friction lining before punching the plurality of friction lining elements out of the friction lining.

### Claim 14 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11 comprising applying the adhesive film to the friction lining support before punching the plurality of friction lining elements out of the friction lining.

### Claim 15 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, wherein the adhesive film is a plastic film.

### Claim 16 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, wherein the adhesive film has a thickness from around 10 to 100 microns.

### Claim 17 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, wherein the friction lining support is made from a sheet metal material.

### Claim 18 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, wherein the friction lining support has a thickness of around one millimeter.

### Claim 19 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, the friction lining is a semifinished product.

### Claim 20 (depends on 19)

The method of claim 19, wherein a shape of the adhesive film is the same as a shape of the friction lining.
