ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a sliding caliper disc brake.
The brake comprises a caliper (14) which is mounted slidably on a fixed carrier (10) by at least one axial pin (16) cooperating with a bore (47) formed in the caliper. The bore (47) is provided with a sleeve (46) having a resilient projection (54) which extends radially into a recessed portion (58) of the pin (16) to act as a unidirectional stop which can resiliently assume an inoperative position upon assembly of the brake and thus to prevent the caliper and the fixed caliper becoming separated from each other when preforming operations such as changing the friction elements. In the construction illustrated, the sleeve (46) is made of resilient material and the projection (54) is integral with the sleeve.
The invention is provided for braking motor vehicles.
