ABSTRACT:
An improvement on a caliper guiding mechanism for a disc brake in which an auxiliary slide pin is arranged to be slidable in metallic contact, instead of conventional elastic contact, in the same manner as a main slide pin to an extent corresponding to a distance of a gap normally existing between a disc and each of friction pads. The invented arrangement is such that there is no difference between these slide pins in resistance to caliper sliding movement to prevent uneven wear and dragging of the friction pads. Despite of the sliding arrangement, the auxiliary slide pin is capable of absorbing a certain degree of machining error or a change in the parallel relative positions of the sliding pins caused by a torque during brake application.
