Abstract: A hydraulic damper includes: a cylinder having a cylinder tube; a piston slidingly movable within the cylinder tube; a piston rod integrally movable with the piston; a first chamber and a second chamber into or from which fluid flows by sliding movement of the piston relative to the cylinder tube; a piston port portion connecting the first chamber and the second chamber; a damping force generating device disposed downstream of the piston port portion through which the fluid flows; and a sub-valve disposed upstream and/or downstream of the damping force generating device. The sub-valve is provided with a sub-valve port portion that is connected to a flow path of the piston port portion. A total cross-sectional area of a flow path of the sub-valve port portion is smaller than a total cross-sectional area of the flow path of the piston port portion.

Abstract: In a friction pad assembly for a disc brake, a plurality of lining assemblies supported on a guide plate are pressed to a disc rotor. The lining assembly includes a friction material and a back plate portion. A plate fitting portion of the lining assembly is inserted and equipped to a guide hole portion, and braking torque is transmitted from the plate fitting portion to the guide plate. A plurality of link plates applying pressing force from a torque receiving plate to the lining assembly are provided between the torque receiving plate and the back plate portion adhered to the guide plate. A damping layer sandwiched between inner surfaces of the torque receiving plate is provided on back surface sides of the link plates.

Abstract: A friction pad assembly for a disc brake is provided. A lining assembly includes a friction material which is pressed against a disc rotor during braking and a back plate which is fixed to a back surface of the friction material, and the back plate includes a plate fitting part swingably fitted to a guide hole provided in a guide plate. The plate fitting part is fitted into the guide hole such that a braking torque acting when the friction material is pressed against the disc rotor is transmitted from the plate fitting part to the guide plate. A rotation regulator regulating a rotation of the lining assembly is integrally formed on a torque receiving plate fixed to the guide plate.

Abstract: A disk brake includes a floating caliper, a pair of brake pads, a driving piston and a caliper return mechanism. The floating caliper includes a base portion which is slidably supported via a guide pin to a support and a pair of pressing arms which extend from the base portion to pinch a disk rotor. The brake pads are provided in tip portions of the pressing arms so as to face side surfaces of the disk rotor. The driving piston is provided on one of the pressing arms so as to drive one of the brake pads toward one of the side surfaces. The caliper return mechanism is arranged in at least one of both end portions of the guide pin on a side opposite to the driving piston side so as to elastically bias the base portion to the side opposite to the driving piston side.
