AUTOMOTIVE DISC BRAKE

摘要

A disc brake for a hydraulic brake system of a motor vehicle is disclosed, which includes as customary a braking disc rotatable with a vehicle wheel, directly and indirectly actuated friction pad assemblies located adjacent to both sides of the braking disc and forced against the braking disc when fluid under pressure is supplied to the disc brake from a master cylinder and a yoke which is adapted to carry the pressure of the fluid to the indirectly actuated friction pad assembly, in which the improvement mainly comprises provision of means which takes a braking torque on the friction pad assemblies during operation whereby the yoke is freed of a duty of bearing the torque and permitted to serve only to carry the pressure of the working fluid to the indirectly actuated friction pad assembly, resulting in a simplified construction and a streamlined operation of the disc brake.
