Zusammenfassung:	The present specification discloses a disc brake (1) for use on a commercial vehicle. Traditionally drum brakes have been used on the light to medium weight range of commercial vehicles, one disadvantage of conventional hydraulically actuated disc brakes (1) lying in their unsuitability for the provision for a parking/emergency brake, primarily due to the bulk of such extraneous items. The present invention provides a disc brake (1) having a brake actuation mechanism (7) which is movable axially by brake applying means (3) mounted in a part of the disc brake (1). The brake applying means (3) has an axis of actuation (Y) which extends in the same general direction as the axis (Y) along which the brake actuator (7) moves to apply the brake (1). This construction leads to a compact overall design wherein the brake applying means (3) is part of the brake (1) itself.
