ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a disc brake with a caliper (10) sliding on a fixed support (12) incorporating a first friction component (14) which is capable of being applied against a surface of a brake disc by way of a brake actuator through a plunger (28). A second friction component is capable of being applied against the other surface of the disc through the sliding caliper. Rotation of the plunger (28) is capable of causing the latter to move axially relative to the brake actuator. The disc brake incorporates an adjusting and retaining component (44) having a fork (40) at one of its ends (42) which is intended to cooperate with complementary surfaces (38) formed on the plunger (28) and having a hole (48) at its other end (46) by way of which the component (44) is immobilized, through a screw (50), relative to the first friction component (14). The adjusting and retaining component (44) enables the rotation of the plunger (28) to be immobilized when the screw (50) is tightened and, when the latter is unscrewed, the component (44) is used as a spanner to tighten or slacken the plunger (28).
