<p>A disc brake (3) of the kind comprising an axially fixed hub (2) and at least one slidable brake disc (4,6) comprises resilient means (10) acting between the disc (4,6) and the hub (2) to control certain aspects of the movement of the brake disc (4,6) during use. The resilient means (10), is of a leaf spring format, acting between the disc (4,6) and the hub (2) to control the disc dynamics is mounted on the disc (4,6). This leads to advantages in terms of spring structure and cost and independence of the resilient bias with respect to disc position and disc (4,6) relationship to another disc (if present) and with respect to simplicity of mounting and avoidance of dirt entrapment. The mounting of the resilient means (10) comprising clipping the resilient means (10) over a drive key (12) of the disc (4,6) though an aperture (23) defined within the resilient means (10) and having associated stiffening elements or strips (26a, 26b). The resilient means (10) is accordingly securely and captively attached and located relative to the disc (4,6) and the resilient means (10) providing a resilient bias force directed through the drive key (12). <IMAGE></p> |
