Abstract
The invention relates to a disc brake in which the brake pads are slidably mounted in an anchoring member straddling the disc. The pads co-operate with V-ribs formed in the anchoring member beyond the periphery of the disc. Each rib has an axial surface parallel to the force generated during braking and a surface perpendicular to the resultant of the braking force and of the braking torque. The ribs are slotted to permit the pads to be extracted radially after the pistons have been retracted beyong their idle position.
