Abstract
A disc brake assembly includes a stationary support member mounted on a vehicle body structure and having at least one support pin fixed thereto, a caliper member slidably supported on the support pin to be movable in an axial direction, and a tubular elastic boot arranged in surrounding relationship with the support pin to enclose a sliding portion on the same. To protect the elastic boot, a cylindrical elastic protector is arranged to contain therein the elastic boot, the elastic protector having one end coupled with a member such as a washer or a cup-shaped member fixed to the outer end of the support pin and the other end pressed into contact with an end face of the support portion of the caliper member.
