ABSTRACT:
A disc brake includes a pair of friction elements which cooperate with a caliper (26) to engage a rotor (10). A torque plate (12) movably supports the caliper via at least one pin (24). The pin is received with an aperture (40) on the caliper and a resilient member (44) within the aperture accommodates the clearance between the pin and caliper. The resilient member defines at least one rib (54 or 56) substantially disposed outside the aperture. The rib is deformable axially to generate a restoring force biasing the caliper and at least one of the pair of friction elements to return to a rest position.
