Abstract
In a disc brake such as a sliding caliper disc brake, the caliper is slidably mounted for movement with respect to a torque plate by first and second sliding connections. The first connection is provided by a pair of parallel pins axially secured to the torque plate and lugs integral with the caliper member and engaging over the pins while the second connection is provided by extension portions of the pins and apertures engaging the extension portions in a backing plate of a pad assembly fast on a lim portion of the caliper. The construction is such that a resulting span from combining the first and second sliding connections is longer than is obtained by the conventional sliding connections which are usually provided by a pair of pins and lugs engaging the pins. The longer span of sliding connections of the invention is effective to prevent the caliper member from being rotated around an imaginary axis normal to the axis of the friction disc.
