ABSTRACT:
The brake is of the type comprising a carrier member for fixing to a vehicle, a caliper member slidably mounted on the carrier member and an actuator for urging a first friction pad onto one side of a rotatable disc to cause the caliper member to slide relative to the carrier member and apply a second friction pad to the other side of the disc. The sliding connection is provided by a pair of pins slidable in openings in one of the members, preferably the carrier member, and releasably secured to the other of the members. To prevent binding of the pins in their openings, at least one of the openings is made diametrically oversized and the associated pin is urged into an eccentric position in direct sliding contact with the wall of its opening by means of a leaf spring which also resiliently urges the pads into position in the carrier member. When both pins extend into radially oversized openings, they are relieved of drag forces which arise on brake application.
