ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to disc brake assembly including a stationary bracket, a pair of friction pads disposed on the opposite surfaces of a rotatable disc, a pair of parallel pins secured to the bracket and extending in the direction of the axis of the disc, a caliper slidably supported on the pins and having therein a hydraulic piston acting on one of the friction pads to apply it against one surface of the disc, and a leg portion of the caliper extending across and straddling a portion of the circumference of the disc to apply the other friction pad against the other surface of the disc. The bracket is formed to straddle the disc so as to directly receive braking torque generated in the friction pads. An opening is formed in the caliper for allowing the friction pads being extracted therethrough in the radially outward direction, and a pair of parallel pins is mounted on the caliper to extend across the opening to slidably support the friction pads.
