Summary:PCT No. PCT/EP92/00718 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 4, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 4, 1993 PCT Filed Apr. 1, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO92/17712 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 15, 1992.A cast-aluminum floating caliper of a floating-caliper spot-type disc brake is reinforced by means of reinforcing elements of a high-tensile material. In accordance with one embodiment of this invention the floating caliper is provided with recesses in an area adjacent the brake disc and the brake shoes. Bolts extend through the recesses in the direct vicinity of the radially outside brake disc edge. Commercially available steel bolts preferably are used. These measures optimize the floating caliper weight, stiffness and manufacturing cost.
