ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a disc brake apparatus wherein a plurality of brake shoes, that transmit braking force to a plurality of rotating discs, when worn to their minimum allowable thickness, may be replaced with new brake shoes, without disassembly of the disc brake apparatus, by unlocking, rotating through an angle of one hundred and eighty degrees, and thereafter relocking a plurality of pivotally mounted arms each of which may have attached to and detached from its respective ends a worn brake shoe and a new brake shoe, the rotation of each arm moving a new brake shoe to the position formerly occupied by a worn brake shoe thereby enabling the new brake shoe to transmit a braking force to the rotating disc formerly braked by the worn brake shoe.
