ABSTRACT:
An integral-type disk brake that can be readily assembled and which includes a caliper assembly, a pair of arms circumferentially spaced apart along the outer periphery of a disk rotor, a pair of protrusions extending radially outwardly of the rotor and engaging with the arms, and a pair of leaf springs resiliently engaging with the arms. When the caliper assembly including an inner pad and an outer pad is inserted between the arms during assembly, the arms push the springs and bend them circumferentially toward the axis of the rotor, thereby facilitating the insertion. The springs hold the outer pad into resilient engagement with the arms.
