A detachable airplane wheel prerotation/landing brake cooling device is disclosed that comprises: an outer circular cage rim, an inner circular cage rim confronting and spaced apart from the outer circular cage rim, and a plurality of spaced apart arcuate blades spanning across and connecting the outer circular cage rim to the inner circular cage rim at a slant. Each arcuate blade includes a first section connected to the outer circular cage rim and a second section connected to inner circular cage rim. The plurality of slanted arcuate blades are, when the detachable airplane wheel prerotation/landing brake cooling device is being impinged by an airstream during the landing of the airplane, configured to (i) rotate the wheel about the axle in a forward direction, and (ii) funnel air into the plurality of annular spaces adjacent to the plurality of heat shields to thereby remove heat away from the disc brake assembly.

A ventilated brake rotor rotationally associated with a vehicle element to be braked, having a rotation axis and defining an axial direction, parallel to or coinciding with the rotation axis, a radial direction perpendicular to the axial direction and a circumferential direction, perpendicular to both the axial and radial directions, has a cup-shaped body having at least one ventilation opening passing through a cup-shaped body thickness to allow passage of a cooling fluid for cooling the ventilated brake rotor, at least one front annular portion for connecting the ventilated brake rotor to the vehicle element to be braked, and a side portion extending from the at least one front annular portion at least in the axial direction. A protective element shields the at least one ventilation opening preventing foreign bodies from entering into the cup-shaped body and allowing the cooling fluid to cross the at least one ventilation opening.

A protective cover for a disc is for being disposed on a fork of a bicycle. The fork has a shaft hole. A direction toward which an opening of the shaft hole faces is defined as an axial direction. The bicycle further has a brake disc. The protective cover includes a shell body. As viewed in the axial direction, the shell body and the brake disc are located by the same side of the bicycle, and the brake disc is shielded by the shell body.

Provided is a caliper unit for a brake of a vehicle, in particular, a compact caliper unit capable of reducing a size, a weight, and a production cost of a component and improving fuel efficiency. The caliper unit for the brake includes an inner pad and an outer pad, which press both surfaces of a disc to generate braking force, a torque member fixed to a vehicle body and coupled to be movable forward and backward so that the inner pad and the outer pad press the disc, or the pressing of the inner pad and the outer pad to the disc is released, a caliper housing including a cylinder to which a brake hydraulic pressure is applied and a reaction force support part configured to press the outer pad to the disc, and a piston installed in the cylinder and moving forward and backward depending on a state of the brake hydraulic pressure applied to the cylinder to press the inner pad to the disc. Each of the inner pad and the outer pad has a circular shape, and a contact surface of the piston, which is in contact with the inner pad to press the inner pad during braking, has a circular shape.

A wheel casing for a vehicle having a wheel assembly including a wheel and a tire. The wheel casing includes a body portion positionable adjacent an inboard surface of the tire, and a brake cooling duct defining an air inlet opening and an air outlet opening. The air outlet opening is in fluid communication with a brake system component and the air inlet opening is positionable inboard of the body portion when the body portion is positioned adjacent the inboard surface of the tire, thereby providing cooling air flow through the brake cooling duct to the brake system component when the vehicle is in forward motion. The wheel casing further includes a suspension arm undercover extending inboard of the body portion and configured to protect predetermined components of the vehicle.
