FLOATATION AND ANCHORING MECHANISM FOR DISC BRAKE A disc brake is provided with a torque member having a pair of arms which define a recess which slidably receives one of the friction elements The torque member and one friction element are designed so that braking torque is transmitted from the one friction element to the torque member through a primary abutment located on the lower edge of the recess, and a pair of secondary abutments. The other friction element is carried by a caliper which is slidably mounted on removable rails mounted on the upper end of the arms. The braking torque generated by the other friction element is transmitted through the caliper and the rails mounted on the other arm. Consequently, the braking torque is divided so that it is taken by several different portions of the torque member, thereby permitting a smaller and more efficient torque member. |
