ABSTRACT:
A disk brake of a floating caliper type having a disk rotating with a vehicle wheel, a caliper having a hydraulic cylinder mechanism, a support member secured to a stationary portion of a vehicle and a pair of friction pads mounted on the support member. The friction pads supported by the support member through wedge contact and resiliently urged by spring portions of pad clip members so that the friction pads are kept in surface contact with the support member at the time of non-braking. A sufficient area for transmitting the braking forces applied by the friction pads are stably maintained at the time of start of the braking, and the rotation moment on the pads are reduced and the braking forces are dispersedly transmitted to the disk run-in and run-out sides of the support member during the braking.
