Abstract:
A mount construction of a wear detection probe for detecting that a brake lining has reached an operating limit when a detection wire provided in the wear detection probe is cut by being abraded by a rotor, comprising:at least one lock projecting from the wear detection probe, a biasing means resiliently engaging the lock and elastically pushing the wear detection probe toward the rotor; and a stopper facing a side of the lock that faces away from the rotor and spaced from the lock when the biasing means is resiliently engaged with the lock and elastically pushing the wear detector probe toward the rotor, the stopper cooperating with the lock when the wear detection probe moves backward against a biasing force of the biasing means by action of an external force for limiting movement of the wear detection probe away from the rotor.
