  • Patent number: 4958703
    Abstract: A disc brake comprises a brake support which is to be mounted on a first side of a brake disc and comprises a bridge portion engaging over onto the other side. Two brake pads are arranged on either side of the brake disc and supported against braking forces on the brake support. For direct actuation of a brake pad an actuator is arranged on the first side of the brake disc. For transmitting actuating forces to the other indirectly actuable brake pad a floating caliper engages over the brake disc. The brake support comprises two arms on the first side of the brake disc. Of the arms, a first arm of lower rigidity is loaded with the braking forces of the directly actuated brake pad. The other arm, which has a greater rigidity carries the bridge member and is loaded with braking forces of the indirectly actuated brake pad.
