Patent ID: 8678144

Claim:
An apparatus for a bicycle brake comprising: a housing with a first piston bore and a second piston bore, wherein the housing includes a housing fastener opening configured to receive a housing fastener therethrough to mount the housing to a bicycle frame member; a first piston disposed in the first piston bore; a first piston rod attached to the first piston and extending from the first piston toward the outside of the housing; wherein the first piston moves along a first piston axis; a second piston disposed in the second piston bore; wherein the second piston moves along a second piston axis; wherein the first piston axis is inclined relative to the second piston axis; wherein the first piston bore overlaps the housing fastener opening when viewed along the first piston axis; wherein the second piston bore overlaps the housing fastener opening when viewed along the second piston axis; wherein the housing includes: a front wall; and a rear wall; wherein the front wall includes: a first front wall brake arm mounting location for pivotably mounting a first brake arm mounting portion of a first brake arm; and a second front wall brake arm mounting location for pivotably mounting a second brake arm mounting portion of a second brake arm; wherein the rear wall includes: a first rear wall brake arm mounting location for pivotably mounting the first brake arm mounting portion of the first brake arm; and a second rear wall brake arm mounting location for pivotably mounting the second brake arm mounting portion of the second brake arm; wherein the front wall and the rear wall overlap the first brake arm mounting portion of the first brake arm when the first brake arm is mounted to the housing and when viewed perpendicular to the first piston axis so that the housing straddles the first brake arm mounting portion; and wherein the front wall and the rear wall overlap the second brake arm mounting portion of the second brake arm when the second brake arm is mounted to the housing and when viewed perpendicular to the second piston axis so that the housing straddles the second brake arm mounting portion.
