ABSTRACT:
A floating caliper spot-type disc brake includes a stationary carrier member and a caliper member which is guided for sliding along a predetermined plane in and opposite to a given direction relative to the carrier member. The caliper member has a pair of bores and the carrier member has a pair of bolts affixed thereto which, in the assembled position, are received in the respective bores. An elastic tubular intermediate member is received in each of the bores and guidingly receives the respective bolt. The intermediate member has an elastic portion which, prior to the assembly of the members, extends into the space occupied by the respective bolt after the assembly, so that this elastic portion is deformed during the assembling operation and thus exerts a biasing force on the respective bolt in the assembled condition to eliminate clearances at the end of the caliper remote from the mounting region thereof. The elastic portion may be the result of providing an inclination either between the axes of the surface bonding the bore and the above space, or between the internal and external surfaces of the tubular intermediate element.
