ABSTRACT:
A disc brake apparatus for a motor vehicles comprises a brake caliper having a pair of caliper arms each supporting a brake pad assembly which is disposed at each lateral side of a brake disc. One of the caliper arms contains a hydraulic piston and cylinder operable to press directly the associated brake pad assembly against one side of the brake disc and press indirectly the other brake pad assembly against the other side of the brake disc through corresponding movement of the brake caliper upon application of brake. A mounting block is formed on a stationary portion of the vehicle and has a through-hole extending substantially perpendicular to the brake disc, and a pin secured to the brake caliper extends through the through-hole. The pin serves to mount the brake apparatus to the vehicle stationary portion and to guide the movement of the brake caliper relative to the brake disc. The mounting block has a flat surface engageable with a corresponding flat surface formed on the caliper to thereby transmit to the vehicle stationary portion a torque produced upon application of brake during the forward running of the vehicle.
