Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
A disc brake comprising a stationary member secured to a non-rotatable part of a vehicle, a caliper member, at least one pin secured to one of said members and the other member having a corresponding guide bore therein in which said pin is slidably positioned for slidably supporting the caliper member on the stationary member, and a rigid sleeve is secured to said other member around the open end of the guide bore and extending in the direction of the axis of said pin and sealingly surrounding a portion of said pin projecting out of said guide bore.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
98 words
A disc brake comprising a stationary member secured to a non-rotatable part of a vehicle, a caliper member, at least one pin secured to one of said members and the other member having a corresponding guide bore therein in which said pin is slidably positioned for slidably supporting the caliper member on the stationary member, and a rigid sleeve is secured to said other member around the open end of the guide bore and extending in the direction of the axis of said pin and sealingly surrounding a portion of said pin projecting out of said guide bore.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
90 words
A disc brake as claimed in claim 1 wherein there is a pair of said pins mounted on the caliper member and respective guide bores are provided in said stationary member, there being two rigid sleeves and said sleeves being secured to the stationary member around said pins, each of said pins having a large diameter portion on which a corresponding sleeve is slidably fitted, and a seal ring disposed between the inner periphery of each cylindrical member and the outer periphery of the large diameter portion of the pin.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
124 words
A disc brake as claimed in claim 1 wherein there is a pair of pins on said caliper member and extending axially therefrom and the respective guide bores are provided in said stationary member, there being a pair of first rigid sleeves, one for each said pin and secured to the stationary member and extending axially in the direction opposite to the direction in which said pins extend, and a pair of second rigid sleeves fitted closely and slidably within the corresponding sleeves on said stationary member, and a seal ring between each of the sleeves of the slidably interfitted sleeves, said second sleeves being secured to the caliper or to the base portion of each of said pins and surrounding the corresponding pin.
