ABSTRACT:
A brake release attachment for a caliper type disc brake is disclosed where the brake includes a rotary brake disc and first and second brake friction pads on opposite sides of the disc. A caliper has a first end which presses a first backing plate toward the disc while the first end of the caliper moves away from the disc. The attachment comprises a pair of rigid rod members secured to the backing plate and extending generally perpendicularly away from the plate. Rigid tabs are connected to the caliper for movement therewith and mounted adjacent the rods. Springs are carried on the rods and disposed on the rods to compress as the tabs move with the caliper away from the disc. A pair of rigid stops are secured to the caliper for movement therewith with the stops aligned opposing free ends of the rods blocking the rods from moving more than a predetermined desired stroke away from the disc.
