ABSTRACT:
A torque member has thread holes for attaching itself to a vehicle body and L-shaped rails for supporting inner and outer brake pads in the circumferential direction of a disc rotor, so as to allow the brake pads to be displaced in the axial direction of the disc rotor. Those of the L-shaped rails which face one another in the axial direction of the disc rotor are cross-linked by two bridge parts at their outer ends as viewed in the radial direction of the disc rotor. A corresponding caliper bridge part fits between the two bridge parts. The L-shaped rails facing in the circumferential direction of the disc rotor are connected together at their inner ends as viewed in the radial direction of the disc rotor by beams.
