Title: Disc-brakes, especially for automobile vehicles

Abstract: An improved disc-brake, more particularly intended for automobile vehicles, having a reduced number of component parts, easier assembly and lower production cost. The brake is of the kind comprising a fixed support, a disc keyed on a rotatable shaft to be braked, two brake-shoes disposed on each side of the disc and movable perpendicularly to the plane of said disc, a transfer member movable perpendicularly to the plane of the disc, a hydraulic control unit adapted to act directly on a first brake-shoe and on the second brake-shoe through the intermediary of the transfer member, and an elastic device for urging the transfer member into abutment against retention stops formed on the fixed support. Two of the retention stops against which the transfer member is in abutment are constituted by brackets carried by the fixed support from which they project on each side of the transfer member, this transfer member further comprising laterally projecting lugs for co-operating with the brackets.
