ABSTRACT:
A floating type of disc brake is constructed with a fixed member which slidably supports a floating caliper member. The fixed member has two pairs of arm portions which span a rotatable disc and are displaced about the periphery thereof on either side of the floating caliper member. The floating caliper member is provided with a hole for receiving a bolt extending in the axial direction of the disc from one pair of the arm portions and a pin slidingly fitted in a guide slot running in the axial direction of the disc in the other pair of arm portions. The pin and guide slot are provided outside the circumference of the disc so that the floating caliper member can be rotated thereabout when the bolt is removed to facilitate replacement of the friction brake pads. The range of sliding movement of the bolt relative to the hole is displaced in the axial direction of the disc from the range of sliding movement of the pin relative to the guide slot. The center of gravity, in the axial direction of the disc, of the floating caliper member is within the range of sliding movement of the bolt relative to the hole so as to minimize the moment exerted on the engaging portion between the stationary member and the floating member due to gravity.
