ABSTRACT:
A sliding caliper disc brake comprises a caliper member adapted to straddle a minor portion of the periphery of a rotatable disc, a carrier member for fixing to a vehicle, guide means guiding the caliper member for sliding relative to the carrier member, and an actuator for directly urging a friction pad onto one side of the disc to cause the caliper member to slide relative to the carrier member to apply by reaction an opposite friction pad to the other side of the disc. The guide means includes a pair of pins connected to one of the members and slidable within respective openings in receiving means connected to the other of the two members. In order to locate the caliper member against undue movement about either of the two pins, each pin is a snug sliding fit within the respective opening. Furthermore, at least one of the pins or receiving means is connected to the associated member by a resilient element adapted to flex so as to limit forces transmitted between the pins and receiving means.
