  • Publication number: 20140299424
    Abstract: A disc brake device includes: a disc rotor assembled to a rotating body; a caliper assembled to a supporting member so as to straddle an outer periphery of part of the disc rotor; a pair of brake pads disposed so as to clamp the disc rotor; pistons disposed in a caliper to press the brake pads; a supporting shaft inserted into a supporting portion provided on the caliper to support the respective brake pads so as to be movable in a rotor axis direction; and a retaining member inserted into a through hole provided at one end of the supporting shaft to prevent the supporting shaft from coming apart from the supporting portion of the caliper. The retaining member includes a head portion configured to engage with one of opening portions of the through hole, and a pair of leg portions to be inserted into the through hole, and at least one of a pair of the leg portions is bent, and includes a barb shape configured to engage with the other opening portion of the through hole.
