Abstract

A disc brake device includes a rotor, a caliper body disposed near the rotor, a first pad disposed facing the rotor on a first side, a second pad disposed facing the rotor on a second side, a piston that pushes the second pad toward the rotor, a slide pin fixed to the caliper body, a support bracket having an insertion hole in which the slide pin is placed, and a covering member having a pleat and covering a portion of the slide pin that is exposed outside the insertion hole. An internal space defined by the insertion hole and the covering member includes a first internal space provided in the pleat, and a second internal space obtained by excluding the first internal space from the internal space. A volume ratio of the first internal space to the second internal space is set within a predetermined range.

First claim

1 . A disc brake device, comprising:
a rotor; a caliper body; a slide pin fixed to the caliper body; a support bracket having an insertion hole configured to place the slide pin; and a covering member having a pleat and covering a portion of the slide pin exposed outside the insertion hole of the support bracket; a first pad fixed to the caliper body and positioned to face the rotor on a first side of the rotor; a second pad positioned to face the rotor on a second side of the rotor; and a piston configured to push the second pad toward the rotor, wherein the insertion hole of the support bracket and the covering member enclosing the portion of the slide pin form an internal space such that the internal space includes a first internal space in the pleat of the covering member and a second internal space excluding the first internal space from the internal space and that a ratio of a first volume of the first internal space to a second volume of the second internal space is set within a predetermined range.

2 . The disc brake device according to claim 1 , wherein the insertion hole of the support bracket and the covering member enclosing the portion of the slide pin form the internal space such that the ratio of the first volume to the second volume is in a range of 0.8 to 1.2.

3 . The disc brake device according to claim 1 , wherein the insertion hole of the support bracket and the covering member enclosing the portion of the slide pin form the internal space such that the ratio of the first volume to the second volume is set within a range in a domain of a movable amount of the slide pin.
