  • Brake caliper suspension system for golf cars and utility vehicles
    Patent number: 5158415
    Abstract: A suspension system for brake calipers wherein two brake rods pass through two plates so that the brake rods are aligned parallel to each other. The barke rods are longer than the distance between the two plates so that the ends of the brake rods extend away from the two plates far enough to hold brake calipers in place about the brake discs. Each brake rod further includes compression springs mounted thereon and located between the plates so that when the appropriate spring are compressed, the corresponding ends of the brake rods can be withdrawn from their position holding the caliper. This allows easy and convenient access to the calipers for removal.
