Abstract

This caliper body includes a cylinder portion ( 26 ) that has a piston disposed therein and is internally provided with a liquid pressure chamber, a bleeder boss portion ( 29 ) that communicates with the liquid pressure chamber and includes a bleeder hole configured to discharge air from the liquid pressure chamber, and a plurality of identifiers ( 112 and 116 ). At least one identifier ( 112 ) of the identifier ( 112 and 116 ) is formed in a region hidden by a bleeder plug ( 131 ) attached to the bleeder boss portion ( 29 ).

Claims (18)

1. A caliper body of a disk brake comprising:

a cylinder portion that has a piston disposed therein and is internally provided with a liquid pressure chamber;

a bleeder boss portion that communicates with the liquid pressure chamber and includes a bleeder hole configured to discharge air from the liquid pressure chamber; and

a plurality of identifiers,

wherein at least one identifier of the plurality of identifiers is formed in a region hidden by a bleeder plug attached to the bleeder boss portion.
