Abstract
The disk brake includes a caliper having a plurality of claw portions. A carrier supports the caliper for sliding movement in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation of the disk. A pair of pads are disposed on opposite sides of the disk for sliding in the axial direction of the disk. A wear alarm member is attached to one of the pads, which is pressed by the claw portions of the caliper, at a position inbetween the claw portions. The wear alarm member has a mounting portion attached to the pad and a vibrating piece extending from the mounting portion in a direction intersecting the radial direction of the disk. The distal end portion of the vibrating piece is bent toward the disk at the periphery of the pad to form a contact portion.
