Title:
SLIDING CALLIPERS TYPE DISC BRAKE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS52119766
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A sliding caliper disc brake comprising a torque member which is adapted to be fixedly mounted adjacent a brake disc and which has portions lying on both sides of the brake disc which are connected by bridging portions positioned radially outwardly of the periphery of the disc. Directly and indirectly operated friction pad assemblies are located on opposite sides of the disc and each include a friction pad carried by a respective pad backing plate. A caliper member is mounted on the torque member. The caliper member is guided for sliding movement relative to the torque member in a direction perpendicular to the disc, the caliper member and both the friction pad assemblies being supported by the torque member so that drag forces experienced by the pads during use of the brake are transmitted directly to the torque member. The guiding means for the caliper member comprises at least one springy guide which is located against radially outward displacement relative to the torque member by a springy tag portion which engages the under surface of one of the bridging portions of the torque member.
