ABSTRACT:
A disc brake including a rotatable disc, a bracket having a pair of limbs and firmly attachable to a vehicle body portion in straddling relation to the disc, and a brake caliper mounted on the bracket, supporting a pair of friction pads on the opposite sides of the disc and having an actuating mechanism operative to press the friction pads against the opposite faces of the disc. The bracket limbs are formed thereon with torque-bearing surfaces which face the adjacent, trailing end faces of the respective friction pads which surfaces are covered with a single protecting plate. The bracket is formed along the top edges of the torque-bearing surfaces with a detent shoulder and in these surfaces at points downwardly spaced a substantial distance from the top edges thereof with a pair of detent holes. The protecting plate is formed on its back with at least one upper detent lug engageable on the detent shoulder and a pair of lower detent lugs engageable in the detent holes. The upper and lower detent lugs cooperate to securely hold the protecting plate in place on the bracket with resilient retention forces acting in two different directions substantially normal to each other.
