  • Publication number: 20060049008
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a floating caliper type disc brake which can effectively suppress the occurrence of uneven wear in linings of respective pads, and effectively suppress the occurrence of noise and judder during braking. In the present invention, a caliper is supported by a support member displaceably in an axial direction of a rotor. Pressed-side shim plates are respectively lined on reverse surfaces of back plates of pads supported by the support, while supporting-side shim plates are lined on an inner side surface of a claw portion and on a distal end face of a piston. The pressed-side shim plates and the pressing-side shim plates are respectively retained by mating members to be lined on by means of resilient retainers, and one surface of each of the mutually opposing pressed-side shim plates and one surface of each of the pressing-side shim plates are slidably abutted against each other.
