Abstract
A caliper assembly for controlling the rotation of a brake disk, the assembly including a caliper, a piston cylinder in the caliper on each side of the disk, a piston positioned in each of the cylinders, and a flange in the open end of each of the cylinders for supporting the piston for reciprocal motion in the cylinder, a groove on the inner side of the flange for supporting a seal ring and a groove on the outer side of the flange for supporting a wiper ring, and an opening at the end of the cylinder greater than the diameter of the piston cylinder, which allows for a much greater piston to bore angularity and prevents jamming of the piston in the cylinder.
