SLIDABLE CONNECTOR FOR DISC BRAKE ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A disc brake is disclosed which includes a caliper that is slidably mounted on a fixed support or torque-taking member by a pair of circumferentially spaced pin-like connectors. Each of the connectors include sleeves which are slidably received in correspond- ing apertures in the caliper housing. Corresponding bolts extend through each of the sleeves to engage the fixed supporting member and consequently secure the sleeves thereto. Therefore, the caliper may slide on the sleeves in a direction generally parallel to the axis of rotation of the rotor. To prevent contaminants from inter- fering with the sliding action of the caliper upon the sleeves, a pair of flexible boots are provided on opposite ends of each of the pins which interconnect the caliper and the outer circumferential surface of the sleeves. Each of the boots terminate in a cushion which is disposed in the interface between the sleeve and the wall of the aperture receiving the sleeves. The cushion takes up the clearance between the wall of the aperture and the sleeve, so that the tolerance on the distance between the apertures is less critical. Consequently, the brake may be manufactured at a lower cost.
