Embodiment Construction

[0018] Detailed Description of Preferred Embodiments

[0019] Components or parts of components that are common in the embodiments described below will be denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0020] The term "axial X" means a direction substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the compatible brake disc.

[0021] The term "tangential Y" means a direction substantially perpendicular to the aforementioned axial direction and parallel to the braking band of said compatible brake disc.

[0022] The term "radial Z" means a direction substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation of a brake disc compatible with a disc brake caliper and perpendicular to said axial, tangential direction.

[0023] Referring to said figures, a disc brake caliper unit for braking a brake disc (not shown) is shown generally at 4 .

[0024] The brake caliper unit 4 is arranged bridging the brake discs so that it can extend in the region of the brake band of at least one brake disc.

Abstract

A spring member (70) for disc-brake calipers is interposed between a lateral edge (64) of at least one pad (16) and reaction surfaces (42) of the caliper so as to act resiliently on the pad (16). The spring member (70) comprises a 'U'-shaped portion (80) suitable for forming a connection with a protuberance (48) of the reaction surfaces (42), a first resilient portion (96) suitable for acting on the pad (16) in a tangential direction (Y), and a second resilient portion (100) suitable for acting on the pad (16) in a radial direction (Z). the first and second resilient portions (96, 100) constitute a single body projecting from a first connection end (97) of the first resilient portion (96) that is connected to the 'U'-shaped portion (80), so that, when the at least one pad (16) is in a mounted configuration, it is acted on resiliently by the spring member (70) both in a radial direction (Z) and in a tangential direction (Y).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a spring member of a disc brake caliper, in particular the present invention relates to a spring member adapted to cooperate with a pad of a disc brake caliper to limit the vibration of the pad, and a brake comprising such a spring Calipers, this spring limits the vibration of the pad, especially when the pad is not engaged during braking. Background technique [0002] These pads are known to be prone to axial and tangential movement due to tolerances between the pad plates and the various housings inside the caliper, frequently vibrating and causing annoying noises. [0003] In order to prevent this problem, in known constructions, spring elements are arranged between the pad of the brake caliper and the active shoulder, exerting a spring force on the pad and preventing its undesired movement. Even so, these spring elements still cause the pads to move, producing the above-mentioned vibrations, and cannot ensure effec...
