A shim for use in a braking subassembly comprising a metal backing plate comprising a first side surface, wherein the shim comprises at least one flexible tab extending from an edge thereof for assisting in coupling the shim to the backing plate along a backing plate side surface thereof, and wherein the at least one flexible tab comprises an integrally formed and extending finger therefrom, wherein the finger has a leading edge that frictionally engages the backing plate edge surface when the shim is subjected to a separation force, which, relative to the backing plate, has a directional component at least essentially parallel to and in the same direction as the direction in which the finger extends; whereby the shim is resisted from separating from the first side surface of the backing plate at least in part by the frictional resistance of the leading edge of the finger against the backing plate side surface.

Une cale à utiliser dans un sous-ensemble de freinage comprenant une plaque d'appui métallique ayant une première surface latérale, et sur laquelle la cale comprend au moins une patte souple se prolongeant d'un bord de la plaque afin d'aider au couplage de la cale sur la plaque d'appui le long de la surface latérale de la plaque d'appui. Au moins une patte souple comprend un doigt qui y est intégré et qui s'en prolonge, le doigt ayant un bord d'attaque qui s'engage par frottement sur la surface latérale de la plaque d'appui lorsque la cale est soumise à une force de séparation qui, par rapport à la plaque d'appui, a une composante directionnelle au moins essentiellement parallèle à la direction du prolongement du doigt et dans la même direction que la direction du prolongement du doigt; la cale offre une résistance à la séparation de la première surface latérale de la plaque d'appui en raison, au moins en partie, de la résistance de frottement du bord d'attaque du doigt contre la surface latérale de la plaque d'appui.
