Patent ID: 7766132

Claim:
A disc brake caliper, comprising a caliper body suitable for being fixed to a fixed support structure of a motor vehicle and suitable for being arranged astride of a disc for a disc brake, said disc comprising a braking surface on the support side and a braking surface on the wheel side, opposite said braking surface on the support side and facing an associated wheel of the vehicle, said caliper body comprising a first half caliper on the support side suitable for facing said braking surface on the disc support side and a second half caliper on the wheel side suitable for facing said braking surface on the disc wheel side, at least one of said half calipers comprising a seat having a prevailing extension that defines an axial direction, said seat being suitable for seating a pushing element suitable for cooperating with a pad for exerting a braking action against said disc surfaces, the body comprising a bridge element suitable for structurally connecting said first and second half caliper, wherein said bridge element defines a substantially longitudinal prevailing extension direction, said prevailing extension direction being inclined by a predetermined angle relative to said axial direction of the seat for seating the pushing element, said angle being determined by projecting the prevailing extension direction and the axial direction onto a projection plane perpendicular to said braking surfaces on both sides of the brake disc.
