Abstract: A seat for fastening the curved tube of a bicycle V-type brake is composed of two connection members, a seat body, and a torsion spring. The connection members are fastened pivotally and coaxially with a first brake arm of the bicycle V-type brake by a first pivot. The seat body is fastened pivotally with the connection members by a second pivot and is provided with a first retaining portion. The seat body has an end plate, which is fastened with one end of the curved tube. The torsion spring is fitted over the second pivot such that one end of the torsion spring urges the first pivot, and that another end of the torsion spring urges the first retaining portion of the seat body. When the brake cable is triggered, the first brake arm and the second brake arm are actuated to cause the brake shoes to make contact with the wheel rim. In the meantime, the seat body is caused to swivel by a reaction force which is brought about by the brake cable and is greater than the torsional force of the torsion spring.

Abstract: A ventilated disc brake assembly including an annular housing mounted to the vehicle, The disc has a first radial planar friction surface and a first brake shoe is provided adjacent the first friction surface movable. The first brake shoe is a radial annular plate having at least a planar surface to engage the first planar friction surface. A movable spring abutment is mounted for axial movement within the housing between the intermediate wall and a housing wall such that the intermediate wall is between the movable spring abutment and the first brake shoe. Rigid pusher link members extend between the spring abutment and the first brake shoe. Springs are arranged in an annular array and extend between the housing wall and the spring abutment such that the springs urge against the spring abutment to press the first brake shoe against the first friction surface of the disc.
