IMPROVED SPRING ENTRAPMENT OF SPLIT WEDGE FLOATATION DEVICE ABSTRACT A disc brake assembly (10) includes a caliper (22) movably supported by a torque member (36). The caliper (22) and torque member (36) each have lateral recesses (44, 46, 48, 50) defining axially extending apertures (52, 54) between the caliper (22) and torque member(36), with a pair of wedge-shaped members (66, 68) disposed in each aperture to maintain the caliper in radial and circumferential posi- tion relative to the torque member while allowing lateral movement therebetween. The wedge-shaped members (66, 68) are biased inwardly by an improved dual purpose spring member (72) which traverses a portion of the exterior peri- meter of the torque member (36) and engages the ends of the respective pins. The spring member (72) includes enlarged end members (74) each comprising a coil presenting a flat surface (75) for engaging the end of the respective pin (66, 68) to urge the pin inwardly of the aperture (52, 54), the enlarged end members (74) being disposed within the openings (90) of the apertures so that the enlarged end members (74) maintain the radial and circumferential posi- tion of the caliper (22) relative to the torque member (36) if the wedge-shaped pins (66, 68) are damaged or should fail.
