Abstract
The device (10), mounted elastically for example on a projecting part (30) of the caliper adjacent a projecting part (8) of the fixed support (5), incorporates a flat leaf surface (15) intended to be interposed between the cooperating slide surfaces of the caliper (31) and the support (82) and formed at the end of an intermediate leaf zone forming a flexible ramp surface (14) which cooperates, when fitting the caliper into position, with the adjacent part (8) of the fixed support (5) so as to cause the flat surface (15) to deflect and thus ensure automatic locking of the caliper, the unlocking being easily achieved manually by a similar retraction of the flat slide surface (15). The device (10) is made in a single piece from a sheet of stainless spring steel.
