Abstract

The present invention discloses a concealed dual moving disc brake, comprising left and light calipers, static discs, moving discs, and a drawing arm and brake cable. The calipers are fixed together via a caliper-fastening screw. The static discs are riveted within the calipers. In rolling paths of the static discs, a left and a right steel ball are provided. The drawing arm is mounted inside the static discs. The brake pads are moved toward each other during braking, such that the disc is located centrally without deformation to prolong service life. Simple and easy mounting adjustment is performed, only if the brake lever is held to lock the disc brake. The drawing arm is concealed within the head cover to form a succinct and aesthetic appearance. This product is the connection between the high-end mechanical disc brake and the low-end oil pressure disc brake with significant market prospect and potential.
