Abstract
The disc brake incorporates a caliper (28) formed of two axially opposed beams (38, 40) and of two arms which are circumferentially spaced and which define a radial opening for the mounting/removal of friction components (56-62). The caliper incorporates a third arm (64) lying above the opening and mounted, so as to hinge about a shaft (68), on one (40) of the beams, members (66, 76, 78) being provided to join rigidly the third arm to the other (38) beam. An assembly is provided, for example an eccentric assembly, in the region of the shaft (68), to join the third arm to the caliper recovering the manufacturing tolerances of the brake.
