Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A brake caliper includes: a caliper body which slidably houses a mechanically operated piston which presses a brake disc; a rotation cylinder member which is arranged alongside the mechanically operated piston, coaxially with the mechanically operated piston, and which is rotatably supported on the caliper body; a rotation arm which is fixed to the rotation cylinder member, and which rotates the rotation cylinder member by means of an operation of an operating element; a conversion mechanism which is provided between the rotation cylinder member and the mechanically operated piston, and which converts rotary motion of the rotation cylinder member into axial linear motion of the mechanically operated piston to thereby press and move the mechanically operated piston toward the brake disc side; and a return spring which biases the mechanically operated piston in a direction of moving away from the brake disc.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A brake caliper comprising: a caliper body which slidably houses a piston configured to press a brake pad toward a brake disc; a rotation cylinder member which is arranged alongside the piston, coaxially with the piston, and which is rotatably supported on the caliper body; a rotation arm which is fixed to the rotation cylinder member, and which is configured to rotate the rotation cylinder member by operation of an operating element; a conversio…
