Patent ID: RE42635

Claim:
A cable disc brake for a bicycle comprising: a caliper housing with a mounting bracket structured and dimensioned to be attached to a bicycle ; a first friction member movably coupled to said caliper housing between a release position and a braking position; a second friction member coupled to said caliper housing and arranged substantially parallel to said first friction member to form a rotor receiving slot therebetween; and an actuated mechanism movably coupled to said caliper housing to move said first friction member in an axial direction from said release position towards said second friction member to said braking position, said actuated mechanism including an input cam movably mounted within said caliper housing to move in a rotational direction about a longitudinal axis, but not in an axial direction, said input cam having a first camming surface with an axially extending guide member non-movably fixed thereto at said longitudinal axis, and an output cam movably mounted within said caliper housing to move in the axial direction in response to rotation of said input cam, but not in the rotational direction, said output cam having a second camming surface with an axially extending bore, said guide member being at least partially disposed within said bore to ensure smooth relative movement between said input and output cams ; wherein said input cam and said output cam move axially relative to each other without such movement being caused by one of said input cam member or said output cam member screwing through the other one of said input cam member or said output cam member .
