Abstract:
A brake pad holder comprising:a brake pad mount for removably receiving a brake pad, said brake pad mount defining a mounting arm receptor in a bottom wall thereof, said mounting arm receptor defining a concave interior configuration and a convex exterior configuration, a cavity being defined between said mounting arm receptor and said brake pad, said mounting arm receptor further defining a centrally-disposed through opening;a securement device for securing said brake pad to said brake pad mount;a mounting arm having a head and a threaded post, said head being configured to be received within said cavity defined between said mounting arm receptor and said brake pad, said head having a lower surface defining a convex configuration to cooperate with said concave interior of said mounting arm receptor, said threaded post being received through said mounting arm receptor through opening and defining a diameter smaller than said mounting arm receptor through opening to allow selective orientation of said brake pad mount independently from said mounting arm;a bearing washer defining a brake pad mount receptor, said bearing washer defining a concave receptor for receiving said convex exterior of said mounting arm receptor, cooperation of said concave receptor and said mounting arm receptor convex exterior allowing movement of said brake pad mount along an x-axis, a y-axis and a z-axis, independent of said mounting arm, said bearing washer defining a flat side opposite said concave receptor; anda fastener for securing said brake pad holder in a selected orientation.
