Patent ID: 8016082

Claim:
An operating lever of a disc brake caliper, the operating lever being adapted for pivoting movement in the disc brake caliper to transfer an actuating force from a brake actuator to a brake pad, the operating lever comprising: a shaft having a shaft pivot axis; a cam surface on the shaft at a first end of the operating lever and operable on pivoting of the operating lever; a lever arm extending from the shaft, intermediate ends of the shaft and extending over the cam surface; a wear adjuster arm extending from the operating lever; and a stub axle at a second end of the operating lever, wherein the operating lever has a bearing surface adapted for reactive support of the cam surface on a roller element bearing of the disc brake caliper, the stub axle adapted to be supported in a plain bush of the disc brake caliper, a diameter of the stub axle is less than a radius of the bearing surface, and the bearing surface defines the shaft pivot axis and the diameter defines a stub axle pivot axis, the stub axle pivot axis being coincident with the shaft pivot axis.
