Floating caliper brake with an adjustment device

A floating caliper brake comprising:

• a brake carrier, which has a brake carrier fastening arrangement for fastening the brake carrier to a component of a vehicle,
• a brake caliper, which has a brake caliper fastening arrangement for fastening an adjustment device to the brake caliper,
• a guide mechanism, which is designed to guide the brake caliper relative to the brake carrier along in an axial direction, and which comprises a guide element that extends from a fastening region, by which the guide element is fastened to a section of the brake caliper, towards a free end, and a bore section extending along the axial direction in a section of the brake carrier, wherein a section of the guide element is arranged in the bore section, and
• an adjustment device, which comprises an adjustment element, a first transmission section, which has a first fastening region by which the first transmission section is connected to a brake carrier section, and which has a second fastening region, by which the first transmission section is connected to a first end section of the adjustment element, a second transmission section, which has a third fastening region by which the second transmission section is connected to the free end of the guide element, and a gear section, wherein the gear section is connected to the second transmission section via an internal thread and an external thread, so that rotating the gear section about a central axis extending along the axial direction relative to the second transmission section results in an adjustment of the second transmission section relative to the gear section along the axial direction,
• wherein the gear section is connected to a connecting section that is connected to a second end section of the adjustment element,
• wherein the first transmission section and the second transmission section can be arranged relative to one another along the axial direction, so that the adjustment element is in a first position, in which the first end section and the second end section are spaced apart from one another along the axial direction at a first distance, and the first transmission section and the second transmission section can be arranged relative to one another along the axial direction, so that the adjustment element is in a second position, in which the first end section and the second end section are spaced apart from one another along the axial direction at a second distance which is smaller than the first distance, and
• wherein when the second distance between the first end section and the second end section is equal to, or greater than, a predefined distance, an actuation section of the adjustment element engages with the gear section such that an increase in the second distance of the actuation section of the adjustment element causes the gear section to rotate about the central axis relative to the second transmission section, in such a manner that the second transmission section moves away from the gear section along the axial direction.
