ABSTRACT:
A caliper brake which includes a fixing member, a pair of brake arms pivoted to the fixing member and each carrying a brake shoe, a return spring interposed between each of the brake arms and the fixing member, for biasing the brake arms to move them away from each other, with the return spring having spring legs respectively engageable with the brake arms, and a pair of inversion members which can be inverted to adjust the spring reaction force of the return spring. The inversion members each include a first contact portion and a second contact portion for making contact with a respective one of the brake arms. The inversion members include a fitting bore located at a position shifted from the center of the inversion member between the first and second contact portion, such that the fitting bore is closer to the first contact portion. The spring legs are respectively fitted in the fitting bores of the inversion members, whereby each of the inversion members is capable of being pivoted around the fitting bore so as to change its position between a first position at which the first contact portion makes contact with the brake arms and a second position where the second contact portion makes contact with the brake arms.
