ABSTRACT:
A self-centering apparatus for caliper brake assembly to control relative positions of brake shoes so that they are equally spaced from the brake disc, irrespective of attitude of brake. The caliper brake assembly has a pair of caliper arms hinged to the body thereof, with brake shoes at inner ends of the arm and a brake actuator extending between outer portions of the arm. A rocker device is hinged to the body for rotation about a rocker axis disposed parallel to the hinge axes of the caliper arms, and the rocker links interconnect the caliper arms and the rocker device so that movement of one caliper arm is essentially equal and opposite to movement of the remaining caliper arm.
