Floating caliper spot-type disc brake
First Claim
1. A floating caliper spot-type disc brake for motor vehicles, comprisinga floating caliper (14) supported for displacement with respect to a carrier member (12) which is fixed at the vehicle,two brake pads (16,18) for pressurizing a brake disc (10) from either side,an hydraulic piston and cylinder assembly (34) in the floating caliper (14) on one side of said disc (10) for direct pressurization of one (18) of said two brake pads (16,18) of said one side of said disc and indirect pressurization of the other (16) of said two brake pads (16,18) on the other side of said disc (10) by way of the floating caliper (14), anda sliding guide means (54,60;
- 58,64) between the carrier member (12) and the floating caliper (14) on said other side of said disc (10),characterized in that said other brake pad (16) is supported circumferentially exclusively on the floating caliper (14) and said one pad (18) is supported circumferentially exclusively on the piston (34) of the piston and cylinder assembly, and in that another sliding guide means (56,62;
58'"'"', 62'"'"') on said carrier member (12) on said one side of said disc (10) is directly engaged by said piston (34).

Abstract
A floating caliper of a spot-type disc brake supported for displacement with respect to a carrier member which is fixed to a vehicle and includes two brake pads for pressurizing the brake disc from either side. A hydraulic piston and cylinder assembly in the floating caliper directly pressurizes one of the pads and indirectly pressurizes the other pad by way of the floating caliper, with a sliding guide being provided between the carrier member and the floating caliper wherein one of the pads is supported circumferentially exclusively on the floating caliper and the other pad is exclusively supported on the piston of the piston and cylinder assembly, another sliding guide being provided on the carrier member for engagement by the piston.
