Abstract

A disk brake includes an attachment member ( 11 ) having a pair of pin support sections ( 26 ) in which pin holes ( 29 ) extending in a disk axial direction are formed and disposed to cross an outer circumferential side of a disk, and fixed to a non-rotating section of a vehicle, a caliper ( 13 ) having slide pins ( 30 ) slidably inserted into the pin holes ( 29 ) at both sides in a disk circumferential direction and movably supported by the attachment member in the disk axial direction, and a pair of pads movably supported by the attachment member and pressed against both surfaces of the disk by the caliper, wherein the slide pin includes a pin main body having an annular groove ( 153 ) on a tip side, and a tubular elastic deformation member ( 131 ) having a plurality of convex sections ( 162 ) on an inner circumferential side and provided in the annular groove ( 153 ).

Claims (11)

1. A disk brake comprising:

an attachment member having a pair of pin support sections in which pin holes extending in a disk axial direction are formed and disposed to cross an outer circumferential side of a disk, and fixed to a non-rotating section of a vehicle;

a caliper having a pair of slide pins slidably inserted into the pin holes at both sides in a disk circumferential direction and movably supported by the attachment member in the disk axial direction; and

a pair of pads movably supported by the attachment member and pressed against both surfaces of the disk by the caliper,

wherein, in the pair of slide pins, one slide pin comprises:

a pin main body having an annular groove on a tip side; and

a tubular elastic deformation member having a plurality of convex sections on an inner circumferential side which are configured to be deflected in the disk axial direction when the slide pin moves in the disk axial direction and provided in the annular groove, and

wherein the convex sections are each formed in a conoidal shape and are disposed in a lattice shape.

2. The disk brake according to claim 1 , wherein an outer circumferential surface of the annular groove has a small diameter section having a diameter smaller than that of a base end side, and tips of the convex sections abut the small diameter section with interference.

3. The disk brake according to claim 1 , wherein each of the convex sections is a tapered shape.

4. The disk brake according to claim 1 , wherein the convex sections are formed in an annular shape along an inner circumferential surface and disposed to be arranged in the axial direction.
