Abstract
A sliding caliper disc brake is comprised of a C-shaped caliper having a fluid operated piston in one limb thereof for simultaneous application of friction pads to opposed surfaces of a rotating disc. The caliper is slidably mounted on two spaced apart arms of a support member by means of a pair of support pins slidably mounted in bores located in the arms of the support member. One end of each support pin is provided with a connection to the caliper which will permit lateral movement of the pin relative to the caliper. The connection may be comprised of a laterally extending connecting pin slidably mounted in the caliper. The connecting pin may be pivoted to, fixed to or of one-piece with the support pin. An additional connecting pin may be provided at the opposite end of each support pin for a heavy-duty brake.
