A floating-caliper disc brake includes a brake-shoe holding spring (12) received in a radially outwardly open aperture (11) in the caliper (2) which spring (12) acts on brake shoes (6, 7) to urge them into engagement with abutment surfaces (29, 30) of a brake support member (1). As shown, the holding spring (12) is rigidly secured to the brake caliper (2) via a bolt (21) having an enlarged head (23) which is fastened to an end wail (22) of the aperture (11), and the spring (12) is formed of two leaf springs (14, 15) arranged as seen in Figs. 1, 3. The spring may also be formed integrally (see Figs. 6, 7). <IMAGE> |
