A disk brake device comprises a brake lever 3A toward which a tilting force is applied in opening operation. This brake lever 3A is formed at its lowe r end with an outwardly protruding stopper 58 into which an adjusting bolt 56 is screwed vertically. A base seat 59 is provided on a base plate 1 immediately under the stopper. A pinion 61 is fitted over an upper end of the adjusting bolt 56 via a one-way clutch 60 so as to rotate the adjusting bolt 56 only in a direction of fasting the same downward. A rack 67, which is supported by the base plate 1, is meshed with the pinion to have a predetermined backlash and to extend in a direction of swing of the brake levers 3A, 3 B. This disk brake device allows to assuredly maintain the brake levers 3A, 3 B at equally opened positions at left and right in a brake releasing condition, even if brake lining s 9A, 9B are worn out and adjustment is made by an automatic lining wear adjusting unit 53 to automatically decrease the gap caused by wear of the brake linings 9A, 9B.
