Zusammenfassung: | Disclosed herein is a disk brake for vehicles including a disk rotated together with a wheel of a vehicle, a pair of friction pads disposed at both sides of the disk opposite to each other, and a pair of wedge members installed on the rear surfaces of the friction pads, wherein the upper ends of the friction pads are respectively hinged to the wedge members, and the lower ends of the friction pads are supported by elastic members so as to be protruded toward the disk. Even though friction between the disk and the friction pads occurs under the condition that braking is not performed, the friction is limited to regions between the edges of the lower ends of the friction pads and the disk, thereby reducing frictional force between the disk and the friction pads and thus preventing unintended braking. |
