Abstract
A disc brake comprises a stirrup (10) mounted to slide on a fixed support (12) by way of a column (14) extending parallel to the axis (0) of the disc, the column (14) fixed to the fixed support (12) and received so as to slide in a corresponding bore (20) of the stirrup (10), and a locking element (50) associated with the stirrup (10) and with the fixed support (12) to cooperate in guiding the axial movements of the stirrup (10) relative to the fixed support and to oppose rotation of the stirrup (10) about the column (14) when the stirrup is in normal operating position. The locking element (50) is a rod having a first end (52) articulated to the stirrup (10) and a second end (54) articulated to the fixed support (12). The two ends (52, 54) of the rod have joints (56, 64) which provide the articulated connections and which allow the rod to move in a plane (Pb) perpendicular to the plane of the rotating disc.
