Abstract:

A vehicular brake material collection system collects brake material dust particles emanating from both the brake friction material and the brake rotary member in a disc brake or a drum brake. The system includes a particle collection chamber around and/or suction nozzles in proximity to the friction material, the chamber and/or nozzles being connected to a suction system that carries such particles into a filter or separator as the vehicle operates. The particles are thereby collected for later safe removal and disposal.
