Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
312 words
A disc brake comprising a rotatable disc, a non-rotatable member having a portion straddling a portion of the outer periphery of the rotatable disc, a pair of brake pads disposed on the opposite sides of the disc and slidably supported in said non-rotatable member for movement toward and away from the disc, a caliper having two caliper parts on opposite sides of said disc and said non-rotatable member, said non-rotatable member having a pair of guide bores therethrough, a pair of bolts spaced circumferentially of said disc and connected between said caliper parts through said guide bores for securing said caliper parts to each other, a sleeve surrounding the shank portion of each of the bolts and extending between the caliper parts through said guide bores, said caliper parts having bolt receiving holes therein having portions facing said non-rotatable part with a diverging enlarged shape, the opposite ends of each of said sleeves having a shape complementary to the diverging enlarged shape and being tightly seated in the diverging enlarged shape portions of said bolt receiving holes with part of said complementary shaped portions outside of said diverging enlarged shape portions of said bolt receiving holes, said part of said complementary shaped portions being ungrooved, and a resilient ring interposed between each sleeve and the corresponding guide bore at each end of said sleeve, each resilient ring having a dust cover portion integral therewith and extending along a portion of the sleeve exposed between the guide bore and the adjacent caliper part, the free end of said dust cover engaging with said complementary shaped portion of said sleeve which is outside said diverging enlarged shape portion of said bolt receiving hole for holding the free end of said dust cover portion in engagement with said sleeve adjacent the caliper part and preventing said free end from moving back toward said resilient ring.

A disc brake comprising a rotatable disc, a non-rotatable member having a portion straddling a portion of the outer periphery of the rotatable disc, a pair of brake pads disposed on the opposite sides of the disc and slidably supported in said non-rotatable member for movement toward and away from the disc, a caliper having two caliper parts on opposite sides of said disc and said non-rotatable member, said non-rotatable member having a pair of guide bores therethrough, a pair of bolts spaced circumferentially of said disc and connected between said caliper parts through said guide bores for securing said caliper parts to each other, a sleeve surrounding the shank portion of each of the bolts and extending between the caliper parts through said guide bores, said caliper parts having bolt receiving holes therein having portions facing said non-rotatable part with a diverging enlarged shape, the opposite ends of each of said sleeves having a shape complementary to the diverging enlarged shape and being tightly seated in the diverging enlarged shape portions of said bolt receiving holes with part of said complementary shaped portions outside of said diverging enlarged shape portions of said bolt receiving holes, said part of said complementary shaped portions being ungrooved, and a resilient ring interposed between each sleeve and the corresponding guide bore at each end of said sleeve, each resilient ring having a dust cover portion integral therewith and extending along a portion of the sleeve exposed between the guide bore and the adjacent caliper part, the free end of said dust cover engaging with said complementary shaped portion of said sleeve which is outside said diverging enlarged shape portion of said bolt receiving hole for holding the free end of said dust cover portion in engagement with said sleeve adjacent the caliper part and preventing said free end from moving back toward said resilient ring.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
A disc brake as claimed in claim 1 in which said diverging enlarged shape portions of said bolt receiving holes are conically outwardly flared, and the complementary shaped portions of said sleeves are conically tapered.
