Abstract
A spot-type disc brake with a floating-caliper comprises a brake support member and a brake caliper that is arranged at the wheel axle in a manner slidable parallel to the brake disc axis by a single guide element (5,6) includes brake shoes which are replaceable tangentially relative to the brake disc. The brake support member is constructed in the shape of a retaining element which is arranged on one side of the brake disc parallel to the disc and which may be constructed integrally with the wheel axle. The brake shoes are retained either on the disc entry side in the brake caliper (2) or on the disc exit side at the brake support member (1) or in the brake caliper by retaining elements. On the side opposite to the retaining elements, i.e. on the disc entry side or on the disc exit side, the brake shoes are supported in the brake caliper.
