Abstract
Floating-caliper brake including a brake support member, a floating caliper straddling the outside edge of a brake disc and being axially displaceably guided on the brake support member, brake pads arranged on either side of the brake disc and enclosed by floating caliper, with at least two of the brake pads being arranged on the axially inside surface of the brake disc and at least two of the brake pads being arranged on the axially outside surface, the inward brake pads being displaceable on the brake support member. An object of the invention in a floating-caliper disc brake of this type is to achieve a design with reduced weight and, additionally, enhance the assembly and improve the function of the brake. This object is achieved in that the two outside brake pads are supported by arms of the brake support member that straddle the brake disc, and in that the floating caliper makes catch at the two outside brake pads simultaneously. The sub claims disclose favorable improvements of the invention.
