ABSTRACT:
A disc brake for an automotive vehicle is disclosed in which the inner friction element is provided with a pair of arms extending from opposite ends thereof. The arms are provided with grooves (or projections) which are adapted to slidably engage axially extending splines (or grooves) which are provided on the bridge portion of the caliper so that the inner friction element is guided for sliding movement in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation of the rotor. A gap is defined between the ends of the splines and the inwardly extending portion of the caliper to permit insertion of the arms into the gap and movement of the inner friction pad onto the splines when the brake is assembled. The outer friction element is then installed on the inwardly extending portion of the caliper and encloses a sufficient portion of the gap to prevent the inner friction element from escaping. A pair of pins slidably mount the caliper to a non-rotating portion of the vehicle, such as the spindle housing.
