ABSTRACT:
A mount construction of a wear detection probe for a brake pad is provided which is capable of absorbing an image caused by a contact of the wear detection probe with a rotor. Coil springs 42 are mounted on bolts 41 used to mount a bracket 30 on a support base 12, and the bracket 30 is held in close contact with the support base 12 by biasing forces thereof. When the probe 20 is brought into contact with a rotor upon the application of braking, the coil springs 42 are compressively deformed, thereby absorbing an impact caused by a contact of the rotor 10 and the probe 20. The mount construction of the probe 20 has an enhanced reliability by absorbing the impact on the probe 20.
