  • Disc brake device and caliper
    Patent number: 9062726
    Abstract: A disc brake device includes a disc rotor, which rotates around a rotation axis, friction pads opposed to friction surfaces of the disc rotor, a first member provided on a fixed part on a vehicle body side, a second member supported so as to be slidable relative to the first member by a slide mechanism, a third member, which holds the friction pads and is supported so as to be swingable relative to the second member around a swing axis in a radial direction of the disc rotor as a center of swing by a swing mechanism, and a return mechanism provided on the swing mechanism to apply force to the third member to restore the same to an initial position in a swing direction. Therefore, the disc brake device has an effect of inhibiting abnormal noise.

  • DISC BRAKE DEVICE AND CALIPER
    Publication number: 20140374198
    Abstract: A disc brake device is characterized by including a disc rotor that rotates around a rotational axis, a friction pad that opposes a friction surface of the disc rotor, a first member provided on a fixed portion on a vehicle body side, a second member that is slidably supported via a slide mechanism with respect to the first member, and a third member that holds the friction pad, and is pivotally supported, with a pivot axis along a radial direction of the disc rotor as a pivot center, via a pivot mechanism with respect to the second member.
