Patent ID: 6915882

Claim:
A method of mounting a brake disc in a spot-type disc brake, the disc brake comprising: a) at least two rotatable brake discs; b) a rotatable mounting for said brake discs to permit such rotation and which is adapted to drive said brake discs and to have exerted thereon a braking effect by said brake discs when the brake is actuated; c) at least three friction elements adapted to frictionally engage braking surfaces of opposite sides of said brake discs to effect braking on actuation of an actuation device therefor; d) said brake discs being axially slidable in use with respect to said mounting therefor under the action of said friction elements and said actuation device therefor during braking; e) resilient structure being provided at circumferentially spaced positions around said brake discs and adapted to act between said brake discs and said mounting therefor at said positions; said method comprising: f) providing said resilient structure adapted axially to straddle said at least two discs at said circumferentially spaced positions around said at least two brake discs, and causing said resilient structure when so located to apply a resilient bias directed between said discs and said rotatable mounting for said brake discs; and g) simultaneously moving said resilient structure with said at least two brake discs as a unit when said actuation device is actuated.
