Abstract

A brake apparatus includes a caliper (10) with two housing members (12, 14) secured together by securing means. The securing means include a C-section (16) bridge and an E-section cage (30). The housing members straddle a rotor, so as to be able to urge one or more pistons disposed therein to apply brake pads against the rotor, thereby effectuating a braking force on the rotor. The securing means provide support for the members and reduce the clamshell effect generated by application of the braking force.
