Abstract: A separable casing or housing for a liquid cooled disc brake assembly wherein the separable parts of the casing are held together by a plurality of circumferentially spaced rods. The casing provides a sealed chamber in which a plurality of axially spaced rotor discs are interleaved with a plurality of stator discs. The rods also extend axially through the stator discs radially inwardly of their peripheral circumference and thus provide a reactive stationary force for the braking action. The rotor discs are splined connected to the rotating wheel that is to be braked.

Abstract: A disc brake assembly comprises a caliper member that is rectilinearly movable relative to a support member via a pin member that slidably guides the caliper member while secured to the support member. A second pin member is secured to and movable with the caliper member while interconnected to the support member via a deformable elastomeric ring that aids in the return of the caliper member and the friction elements connected thereto upon termination of a braking operation.
