A disc brake having a caliper member which straddles a minor portion of the periphery of a rotatable disc and which is displaceable with respect to a fixed torque-taking member of the brake for applying friction elements to opposite sides of the disc. The caliper member is slidably mounted on the torque member by means of a pin secured to one of the members and slidable in a recess in the other of the members. The torque member also slidably carries the friction elements and restrains the elements from movement radially of the disc. In order to prevent the caliper member from pivoting about the axis of the pin, the caliper member is held by at least one of the friction elements, this being effected by an interengaging projection and recess, the recess opening in a generally radial direction relative to the axis of the pin. |
