ABSTRACT:
The subject of the invention is a disc brake of the type with a caliper (1) mounted to slide on a fixed support (4) by a column (3). The caliper (1) incorporates a brake motor (9) acting directly on an inner pad and via the caliper (1) on an outer pad. The two pads are received so as to slide in an orifice (5) formed in the caliper (1). The pads are locked in the orifice by a key (20). According to the invention, the inner pad incorporates a semi-circular lug (25) mounted in a semi-circular receptacle (24) formed in the fixed support (4) so as to prevent the caliper (1) from tilting about the column (3) when the pads are in place and are locked by the key (20). The invention may be utilized with the brakes of motor vehicles.
