Abstract: A caliper supporting device in which a caliper is connected to a bracket through a first slide pin and a second slide pin so that the caliper arranged so as to sit astride of a part of the brake disc may be moved in a direction of a rotating axis of the brake disc. A resilient grommet for resiliently supporting the second slide pin only lengthwise thereof is mounted in a supporting hole in the form of an elongated hole. The second slide pin is directly brought into contact with a side wall of the supporting hole by a braking torque acting on the caliper.
