Abstract
A disc brake wherein a caliper having a fluid pressure cylinder portion and a reaction portion for urging a pair of pad assemblies onto a disc rotor is shiftably retained by four slide pins. The slide pins are erected from a torque receiving member, one pair on either side of the disc rotor. Respective two slide pins projecting perpendicularly away from the rotor on opposite sides thereof are positioned co-axially to each other. At least one of the four slide pins disposed on the side with the cylinder portion is made into a main slide pin for chiefly regulating the shifting direction of the caliper; and the remaining three slide pins are respectively made into auxiliary slide pins with less capability for regulating the shifting direction than the main slide pin.
