Abstract
Elastic members are disposed between yoke and the torque absorbing structure of a spot-type disc brake, the elastic members reacting against the yoke under actuated conditions only when an indirectly actuated friction pad is worn to such an extent that the yoke travels towards the face of a brake disc in excess of preselected distance, thereby to abruptly make the stroke of a brake pedal large so as to give a warning of danger to a driver that the friction pad is worn to a dangerous extent.
