Disc brake for road vehicles - has stirrup move pads parallel to disc held by resilient levers

摘要

The disc brake has a revolving disc between two parallel flanges on a fixed support, and the brake pads arranged on either side of the disc. The pads are located in grooves in the flanges and having the same shape as the pads. The pads are fixed by a stirrup which allows the pads to be held when the brake is applied. The stirrup is joined to the fixed support by means of an elastic member consisting of two levers arranged at each end of the stirrup. The width of the support is wider than that of the stirrup.
