Patent ID: 8235184

Claim:
A disc brake apparatus, comprising: a brake pad; and a mounting including a torque receiving part arranged in such a manner that a brake torque fed to the brake pad from a disc rotor is receivable by the torque receiving part of the mounting, wherein the brake pad is divided into a main body member via which the brake torque is receivable while the main body member is pressed against the disc rotor, and a torque transmitting member via which the brake torque is transmittable while abutting to the torque receiving part of the mounting, the main body member and the torque transmitting member are rotatably connected to each other so that absorption of the rotational moment acting on the brake pad at the time of braking is effected by the main body member of the brake pad rotating relative to the torque transmitting member, and the torque transmitting member of the brake pad moves relative to the torque receiving part of the mounting.
