Abstract
An engaging projection formed on a back surface of a pressure plate is inserted into an engaging hole formed in an outside shim plate. A flat surface parts of the engaging projection constituting a side surface thereof are opposed to a linear parts of the engaging hole constituting an inner peripheral edge thereof. When the outside shim plate exists at a neutral position with respect to the pressure plate, the flat surface parts and linear parts are slightly inclined with respect to each other. A rotation of the outside shim plate about an axis of a piston based on a rotation force applied from a leading end face of the piston to the outside shim plate is regulated by line contact between the flat surface parts and linear parts.
