ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a disc brake apparatus exhibiting an arrangement in which a pair of side panels are disposed on either side of the exterior of a wheel hub. These panels are provided, at their inner surfaces, with a pair of brake pistons, each of the pistons being arranged to face, at the forward end of a brake pad, a disc brake secured to one side surface of the wheel hub. The invention is characterized by the provision of an air space within the wheel hub, such air space being in communication with the ambient air. Further, each brake disc is provided on its back surface with plural fins projecting therefrom, such fins also being exposed to the aerodynamic conditions within the air space within the wheel hub.
