ABSTRACT:
A disc brake comprises at least two axially slidable brake discs. The brake discs are mounted for axial sliding movement under the dynamic conditions of use by means of a series of circumferentially spaced wire springs or leaf springs each of which simultaneously receives the at least two brake discs on the axially-extending structure of the spring. As a result, initiation of braking causes simultaneous axial sliding movement of the entire spring and multiple disc assembly as a unit, thereby achieving a more balanced braking action and more even friction pad wear.
