ABSTRACT:
A floating caliper disc brake including a fixed mounting block, a caliper mounted to float on the fixed mounting block and being located in a position to bridge the edge of a disc, a first friction pad supported by the caliper for movement into engagement with one side of the disc, a housing mounted on said caliper on the opposite side of the disc, a second friction pad supported in the housing for movement into engagement with the other side of the disc, the caliper moving in response to the engagement of the second friction pad with the disc to move the first friction pad into engagement with the other side of the disc and a rubber spring on the mounting block to bias the caliper on release of the second friction pad from the disc to release the first friction pad from the disc, the caliper being free to move with respect to the ribs wherever the retraction capability of the ribs is exceeded by the movement of the caliper.
