Abstract
The invention relates to a safety device for disc brakes. The purpose of the device is to prevent the accidental disassembly of a column forming part of a sliding-caliper disc brake. A cap 51 is rotatably coupled with the head of a bolt 48 forming part of the column and screwed onto a stationary support. The cap has a skirt 59 with a cutout 60 in the shape of an arc of a circle, bounded by stops 50, 50'. In the case of accidental unscrewing of the bolt, one of the stops 50, 50' comes to rest against a stationary part 24 of the brake to prevent further unscrewing. Application to the braking of motor vehicles.
