Abstract
A spot-type automotive disc brake of floating-twin disc and fixed-caliper format utilizes one or more single wire springs to bias the two floating friction elements with respect to the fixed caliper. Each spring exerts a differential resilient effect on the central friction element with respect to the floating side friction element by virtue of differential connection arrangements, thereby meeting the differential springing requirements.
