ABSTRACT:
A sliding caliper disc brake has a caliper member which applies friction elements to opposite sides of a rotatable disc and which is slidably mounted on a fixed torque-taking member by a single pin disposed at one side of the caliper. The other side of the caliper is urged into sliding engagement with the torque member by a spring arranged between the caliper and a projection on the torque member. The caliper carries a lug which is normally spaced from the projection but is engageable with the projection to limit outward pivoting of the caliper about the pin in the event of failure of the spring. The caliper lug may engage the spring so as to slide the spring on the projection upon sliding of the caliper so as to maintain spring orientation as the friction elements wear.
