ABSTRACT:
A floating caliper type disc brake comprising a pair of friction pads, a caliper adapted to be mounted on a stationary member to slide thereon in the direction of the axis of a rotatable disc, each of the friction pads having on opposite ends in the direction of the circumference of the disc projections for mounting slidably the friction pads on the stationary member, and a guide plate adapted to be interposed between the stationary member and each of projections of friction pads in mounting the friction pads on the stationary member. Each guide plate has a generally channel shaped retaining portion for engaging slidably with the projection of the friction pad, an upwardly extending hook portion extending from the upper end of the retaining portion and along the side surface of the caliper, and a hook provided on the upper end of the hook portion and adapted to engage with a circumferentially projecting lug provided on the side surface of the caliper, thereby suspending the friction pads on the caliper when the caliper and the friction pads are not mounted on the stationary member.
