Anti-rotation banjo connection and hydraulic component mounting assembly comprising connection

Abstract

An anti-rotation banjo connection comprising a banjo plate (300) attached to a pipe (310) at its own first end edge (320) and including an opening (340) configured to receive a bolt (350), the bolt (350) being configured to be screwed into a port (210) of a hydraulic component (200A, 200B), wherein a second end edge (325) of the banjo plate (300), opposite to the first end edge (320), is providedwith a positioning notch (330) configured to partially surround a stopping fastener (450) when the bolt (350) is screwed into the port (210), whereby an edge wall (335) delimiting the positioning notch (330) is configured to interfere with the stopping fastener (450) preventing the banjo plate (300) from rotating about the bolt (350).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a hydraulic component mounting assembly having an anti-rotation proof banjo connection, in particular wherein the hydraulic component is a wheel cylinder of a drum brake, the hydraulic component mounting assembly allows simple, reliable, efficient, and Inexpensive way to prevent fluid leaks and inadvertent errors that lead to incorrect assembly. [0002] In the following, reference will be made mainly to the mounting assembly of the wheel cylinder of the drum brake. However, it has to be noted that the mounting assembly according to the invention may be applied to other hydraulic components than wheel cylinders of drum brakes, while still falling within the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Background technique [0003] Drum brakes for motor vehicles consist of a brake back plate and a brake drum. The brake backplate has a central opening that allows the outer end of the rotatable shaft to exte...
