DISK BRAKE, BRAKE LINING FOR DISK BRAKE, CLAMP FOR ATTACHING BRAKE LINING

摘要

The invention relates to a disc brake comprising a brake caliper (1) which covers a brake disc and brake pads (3) arranged on both sides of the brake disc in a pad shaft (6), each brake pad being assembled from a friction lining (4) and a rear plate (5), the front face of which is designed as a securing surface (16) for the friction lining (4) and the rear face of which is designed as a pressure surface for transmitting the braking pressure. A hold-down device (7) which runs transversely over the brake pads (3) is supported against the brake pads (3) in the direction of the disc brake axis (A). The hold-down device (7) is made from an elongated base (7C) in the form of a channel over the majority of the total length of the hold-down device, wherein a spring (9) rests against said base, and from lateral flanks (8A, 8B) arranged on the sides of the base (7C). The aim of the invention is to solve the problem of the structural narrowness between the components of the disc brake and the vehicle wheel rotating about the brake. This is achieved in that the hold-down device (7) has an S-shaped offset (11) which adjoins the base (7C) and an end portion (12) which adjoins the offset (11) towards the hold-down device end. The end portion (12) is equipped with a single- or double-part support surface (12A), by means of which the hold-down device (7) is supported against one of the brake pads (3) on the rear face of the brake pad rear plate (5).
