ABSTRACT:
A disc brake including a carrier adapted to be secured to a non-rotatable part of a vehicle and having two circumferentially spaced arm portions which straddle respectively the outer circumference of a rotatable disc, a pair of friction pads supported on the arm portions of the carrier to slide in the direction of the axis of the disc, a caliper mounted on the carrier to slide in the direction of the axis of the disc and having a limb portion straddling the outer circumference of the disc, and a brake actuator incorporated in the caliper for pressing one of friction pads against one surface of the disc, whereby the reaction force of the brake actuator displaces the caliper with respect to the carrier to transmit the brake applying force to the other friction pad through the limb portion of the caliper. A pad spring formed by bending a rod member is retained on the caliper to bias the friction pads in the radially inward direction with respect to the disc.
