    摘要: A cable actuated mechanical disc brake caliper includes a caliper housing and a cable guide rigidly fixed to the housing having a cable receiving bore extending along the guide axis for axially receiving a cable. A lever arm is pivotably attached to the caliper housing for pivoting about a pivot axis. The lever arm is operatively associated with the brake pad to move the brake pad between a retracted and an extended position as the lever arm is pivoted in the first direction from a non-actuated position to a fully actuated position. The lever arm has a cable clamp radially spaced from the pivotal attachment for fixedly attaching the cable to the lever arm in a select orientation relative to the lever arm and the attachment point. A guide surface is curved about the pivot axis and has a first portion attached to the lever arm with the attachment point essentially coincident therewith and a second portion circumferentially spaced from the first portion. The second portion is essentially tangent to the guide axis with the lever arm in the non-actuated position. A method of directing cable to a lever arm of a cable actuated mechanical disc brake described above includes providing a cable guide rigidly attached to the caliper housing defining a cable guide axis a select radial distance from the pivot axis and feeding the cable through the cable guide. The cable is attached to the lever arm at an attachment point about the select radial distance from the pivot axis. The cable is maintained essentially tangent to the guide axis as the lever is pivoted between the non-actuated and the actuated positions.

    摘要: A bicycle disc brake caliper includes a lever arm rotatable about a pivot axis and a rotary to linear linkage between the lever arm and a brake pad translating rotation of the lever arm in an advancement and a return direction to linear advancement or return, respectively, of the brake pad. A return spring is coiled about a spring axis as a first end is fixed against rotation relative to the lever arm and a second end is rotatable with the lever arm about the spring axis. A screw is selectively rotatable about a screw axis and is operatively associated with an end of the spring to selectively rotate the end of the spring relative to the other end of the spring about the spring axis by rotation of the screw independent of movement of the lever arm to adjust the return force applied by the spring to the lever arm.

    摘要: A caliper of a disc brake assembly includes a housing with a cavity configured to receive a disc brake of a disc brake assembly. The cavity includes opposing recesses configured to nest first and second friction pad and plate assemblies on opposite sides of the disc. A drive within the caliper housing advances the first friction pad assembly into contact with the disc along an advancement axis. A retaining structure for the first friction pad and plate assembly includes a pad retention clip attached to the housing within the cavity, the pad retention clip defining an elongate track extending along the advancement axis. A retention tab on a plate of the first friction pad and plate assembly is configured to snap fit with the pad retention clip and to move along the advancement axis within the elongate track as the first friction pad and plate assembly is advanced along the advancement axis by the caliper drive.
