Patent ID: 8083036

Claim:
Method for manufacturing callipers for disc brakes of the type comprising a body in which there are formed cylindrical chambers inside which pistons slide bearing pads intended for acting on the disc of the brake during braking, the method comprising the steps of: providing a body having a slit intended for receiving the disc of the brake and with a pair of cavities, aligned transversely to the slit on opposite sides of the slit and intended for forming a pair of cylindrical chambers, one of said cavities having a first opening on the slit and a second opening on the outside of the body at which said one of the cavities has a tapered portion with a section decreasing to the outside of the body, providing a cap designed to be applied in said one of the cavities from the slit for closing said second opening to form a cylindrical chamber of the calliper, the cap having a tapered portion adapted to correspond to the tapered portion of the second opening, and applying the cap to the second opening by forcing the tapered portion of the cap into contact with the tapered portion of the second opening to obtain a forced coupling between the tapered portion of the cap and the tapered portion of the second opening in an absence of sealing washers between the body and the cap, the cap having a perimeter groove located between the conical portion and the cylindrical portion, the groove avoiding contact with a wall of said one of the cavities when the cap is applied by forcing the tapered portion of the cap into contact with the tapered portion of the second opening.
