ABSTRACT:
A disc brake assembly includes a brake disc rotated with a wheel in a body, a pair of brake pads disposed on opposite sides of the brake disc so as to nip the brake disc and a caliper member straddling a portion of the brake disc and having a bridge portion straddling outer circumferences of the brake pads and the brake disc. The caliper member is provided with a pair of arm portions formed in approximately U-shape and straddling the outer circumference of the brake disc adjacent leading and trailing sides of the bridge portion with respect to the direction of rotation of the brake disc. The brake pads are provided with a pair of ear portions extended outwardly at opposite sides of the outer periphery thereof so as to locate the bridge portion therebetween, respectively. The ear portions are slidably supported on the arm portions in the axial direction of the brake disc and the trailing ear portions transmit the brake torque acting on the brake pads to the trailing side surface of the bridge portion.
