(under subclass 92) Apparatus specifically designed to apply a compressive force for the purpose of placing a portion of a member intended to frictionally engage a relatively moving member to reduce or terminate such relative movement (i.e., a brake pad) onto the structure intended to support that member (i.e., onto a brake shoe or brake assembly).
(1) Note. Class 100 takes a brake press for a lining if it includes treating means of the type found in subclass 92. The class also includes a laminating press for a brake lining having heating, cooling, or drying means if the adhesive applying means is only nominally recited.

29, Metal Working,
233, for an apparatus for (a) bringing a brake lining from a remote location into positional relationship with the brake shoe to which it is to be assembled, (b) stretching or bending a brake lining into position on a brake shoe, (c) holding a brake lining on a brake shoe to facilitate securement of the lining to the shoe, or (d) for applying a fastener to the previously assembled lining and shoe to secure the lining to the shoe, provided the device does not include means to subject the material compacted to additional treatment that includes means for changing the temperature or reducing the moisture content of the material compacted.
156, Adhesive Bonding and Miscellaneous Chemical Manufacture,
580+, for a device for adhesively bonding a brake lining to a brake shoe comprising a specialized laminating device and a press, and wherein the laminating feature of the device is more than nominally recited. For example a device found in subclasses 580+ includes a press having (a) a relieved or discontinuous surface for the purpose of joining laminae in a configured pattern or in a hit-miss manner or (b) a platen wherein a limited portion only of the press surface area is heated so that a restricted portion only of the pressed area is joined, etc. 188, Brakes, for a device for retarding the motion of or for stopping a machine by friction, by positive engagement of elements, or by the internal resistance of a fluid or a field of force, especially
250+, for a brake shoe with or without a brake lining.
269, Work Holders, for the residual locus for a patent to a device which during a work treating operation contacts a workpiece for the purpose of (a) supporting the work against the force of gravity or (b) preventing movement of the work in a particular direction or in all directions while, as disclosed, such work is supported against the force of gravity or (c) providing a surface juxtaposed to the work for constraining the motion of a tool during its performance of such a work treating operation. However, the work holders of Class 269 do not include means to modify or treat the material engaged; this combination is found in Class 100,
