ABSTRACT:
To reduce the brake-application travel necessary for brake shoe actuation, to reduce the brake fluid volume consumption of the brake-shoe-actuating member in a hydraulic brake, to reduce the brake pedal travel required for a braking operation and to improve the efficiency of a floating caliper disc brake, there is inserted a spreading device between the brake-shoe actuating device and the brake pad connecting the circumferential travel of the brake pad caused by engagement with the brake disc into an axial displacement increasing the axial distance between the brake-shoe actuating device and the brake shoe, when the spreading device is moved out of its spring-biased central position into engagement with a supporting surface at the brake housing.
