Patent ID: 8365878

Claim:
A hydraulic disc brake caliper housing for a bicycle having a frame comprising: first and second side portions and first and second end portions that cooperate to define a fluid path defined therein that extends between a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, wherein the first side portion has at least a first piston receiving opening defined therein and the second side portion has at least a second piston receiving opening defined therein that opposes the first piston receiving opening, wherein fluid that enters the fluid inlet includes gas to be bled therein and the fluid path is defined such that fluid enters the fluid inlet, then flows through the first side portion, then through the first piston receiving opening, then through the first end portion, then through the second side portion, then through the second piston receiving opening and then to the fluid outlet, wherein the housing defines an outside boundary, wherein the entire fluid path is defined within the housing and does not extend outside of the outside boundary, and, within the housing, fluid does not flow outside the fluid path, and wherein at least a portion of the gas that is bled from the fluid in the fluid path travels from adjacent the fluid outlet, through the second piston receiving opening, through the first piston receiving opening and out the fluid inlet.
