ABSTRACT:
A disc brake arrangement for vehicles comprises a disc rotatable with a wheel, a pair of friction pads disposed on both sides of the disc and movable along the axis of the disc, a caliper including a bridge portion disposed across the disc and an actuating device for engaging the friction pads with the disc, and a pad spring including two sets of pad-engaging portions for retaining the friction pads independently of each other in the radial direction of the disc under a given load and a joining portion for the connection of one set of pad-engaging portions with the other set of pad-engaging portions. The caliper is supported by a bracket in such a manner that it is slidable toward the axis of the disc. The caliper further includes an operable portion with a built-in cylinder in which is slidably housed a piston for engaging one friction pad with one side of the disc and a reaction force portion for engaging the other friction pad with the other side of the disc by the movement of the caliper.
