Abstract
In a spot-type disc brake, the brake caliper which embraces the edge of a brake disc as well as brake shoes supported on both sides of the brake disc and which contains an actuating device is connected to the brake support member positively by a first guide pin received in a bore of the brake support member and slidably in the direction of the axis of rotation of the brake disc. The brake caliper is movable relative to the brake support member in a circumferential direction of the brake disc while, however, there is ensured at the same time a stable alignment of the brake caliper relative to the brake disc, in that a second guide pin which is supported in a bore provided in the brake caliper is arranged in parallel to the first guide pin. The two guide pins are rigidly connected to one another by a lever. At a point remote from the guide pins, the brake caliper is retained in abutment on a tangential sliding surface by springs. The second guide pin can, however, also extend normal to and be rigidly connected to the first pin, and be received in a correspondingly oriented bore of the caliper.
