Patent ID: 7370737

Claim:
A disc brake for a vehicle, comprising: a caliper body including: an acting section having a cylinder hole and provided on a first side of a disc rotor; a reacting section provided on a second side of the disc rotor; and a bridge section striding across an outside of the disc rotor and integrally connecting the acting section with the reacting section; a pair of friction pads provided between the acting section and the reacting section through the disc rotor so as to oppose each other, a caliper bracket fixed to a vehicle body via a pair of mounting bolts, the caliper bracket having: a mount hole for the mounting bolt; and a torque receiving face which receives braking torque from the friction pad and provided on both sides of the caliper bracket in a circumferential direction of the disc rotor so as to oppose to each other; and a pair of slide pins supporting the caliper body so that the caliper body is capable of sliding in an axial direction of the disc rotor, wherein a first base line is defined so as to pass through both radially out side faces of the torque receiving face, a second base line is defined so as to pass through both radially inner side faces of the torque receiving face, and a center of the mount hole of the mounting bolt and a center of the cylinder hole are located in an area defined between the first and second base lines.
