Abstract
A disc brake has a bracket adapted to be secured to a non-rotatable part of a vehicle and straddling a rotatable disc for supporting a pair of friction pads in slidable relationship with the disc to receive braking torque, a housing disposed on one side of the disc and slidably supported for movement in the axial direction, a piston working in a cylinder formed in the housing and urging one of the friction pads against one surface of the disc, and a plate-like yoke straddling the disc and connecting the housing with the other friction pad. The plate-like yoke is secured to the housing with an interference fit at least in the circumferential direction of the disc.
Claims7
A disc brake comprising a bracket for mounting on a non-rotatable part of a vehicle and straddling a rotatable disc, a pair of spaced opposed friction pads slidably mounted on said bracket for movement toward and away from opposite sides of said disc, a housing disposed on one side of the disc, pin means between said bracket and said housing for slidably supporting the housing for movement in a direction parallel to the axis of the disc, said housing having a cylinder therein, a piston in said cylinder engaging one of the friction pads for urging the one friction pad against one surface of the disc and a plate-like yoke straddling the disc and connecting the other friction pad disposed on the opposite side of the disc with the housing, the yoke engaging the housing with an interference fit at least along portions of the yoke extending between the other friction pad and the end of the housing remote from said friction pads.
