Abstract
A disc brake comprises a rotatable brake disc, and a pad assembly disposed in opposed relation to the pressure bearing surface of the brake disc. The pressure bearing surface of the brake disc is inclined diametrically thereof, and the pad assembly is adapted to displace diametrically of the brake disc so as to engage the pressure bearing surface of the brake disc, whereby there is provided a clearance between the press surface of the pad assembly and the brake disc, which clearance is large enough to prevent the dragging phenomenon.
