Abstract: A disc brake assembly of the type used primarily in an automobile or like motor vehicle environment and including a disc member attached to the wheel, and a lining and lining assembly disposed immediately adjacent the disc for frictional engagement therewith. The lining is interconnected to a lining support element in the form of a rotatable hub wherein the lining itself and the hub are rotationally and linearly movable relative to one another such that frictional engagement between the lining and the disc occurs when the disc and the lining are moving in the opposite rotational directions to accomplish maximum frictional engagement and accordingly, more efficient braking action on the wheel to which the disc is attached.
