ABSTRACT:
A disc brake apparatus comprises a brake housing disposed to straddle over a brake disc, and a pair of suspended brake pad assemblies which are disposed in the brake housing at both sides of the brake disc. The brake pad assemblies are each formed with a pair of lateral projections each of which is slidably received in a guide groove formed in a stationary member connected to a stationary portion of a motor vehicle so that the pad assemblies may be moved toward and away from the brake disc under the guidance of the guide groove. A spring member is provided in one of the guide grooves located on the leading side of the brake apparatus as viewed in the rotating direction of the brake disc for urging resiliently the pad assemblies away from the brake disc, pressing it upwardly and toward the other groove, thereby to assure a smooth movement of the brake pad assemblies and at the same time to prevent generation of undesirable noises.
