  • Patent number: 9212713
    Abstract: A caliper body (1) of a disc brake caliper, said body being adapted to arrange astride of a brake disc, said body (1) comprising a first (5) and a second (11) wheel side elongated portion, the second wheel side portion comprises at least one wheel side opening (21; 22; 45) which places a channel for receiving the disc in communication with the outside of the wheel side caliper body (23), and wherein said at least one opening (21; 22; 45) is an axial central opening (45) which places said channel for receiving the disc in communication with the outside of the wheel side caliper body (23), and wherein said axial central opening (45) has a closed edge which delimits said opening at a face thereof substantially in axial direction, and wherein said at least one axial central opening (45) is arranged at least partially substantially radially overlapping at least one wheel side cylinder (12; 33), wherein said at least one axial central opening (45) is arranged substantially in the center of said second wheel side el

  • Patent number: 8833529
    Abstract: A device (10) for damping the vibrations in a pad (16) of a disc brake suitable for being mounted between at least one pad (16) and at least one piston of a caliper of a disc brake. The device (10) comprises at least one substantially cylindrical damper (26) suitable for being mounted with interference in a cavity (28) made in the piston (22). The damper (26) has an interference surface (30) comprising at least one projection (32) that extends radially and that at least partially wraps around the damper (26) according to a direction having at least one tangential component (T). The damper (26) is suitable for being fixedly connected to the piston (22) through said coupling by interference. Said interference surface (30) of the damper comprising two or more projections (32) defining an undulating axial profile (34) of said interference surface (30).
