A mount construction of a wear detection probe for a brake pad is provided which is capable of absorbing an image caused by a contact of the wear detection probe with a rotor. Coil springs 42 are mounted on bolts 41 used to mount a bracket 30 on a support base 12, and the bracket 30 is held in close contact with the support base 12 by biasing forces thereof. When the probe 20 is brought into contact with a rotor upon the application of braking, the coil springs 42 are compressively deformed, thereby absorbing an impact caused by a contact of the rotor 10 and the probe 20. The mount construction of the probe 20 has an enhanced reliability by absorbing the impact on the probe 20.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A mount construction for holding a wear detection probe which is adapted to detect that a brake pad has been worn to its limit due to sliding contact with a rotor, the wear detection probe being inserted into a probe mount hole formed through a support base on the brake pad such that a detection end of the wear detection probe projects into the brake pad, said mount construction comprising:a bracket fittable on a rear end of the wear detection probe substantially opposite from the detecting end thereof;at least one guide in a position on the support base in proximity to the probe mount hole for displaceably supporting the bracket in directions substantially toward and from the support base, andat least one elastic member for biasing the bracket against the support base.
