ABSTRACT:
A disc brake, especially for use with automotive vehicles is disclosed including brake housing staddling the rim of a brake disc, brake pads disposed on either side of the brake disc and a spring supported on the brake housing and on the brake pads to load the same with respect to one another. To attain an adequate preloading force and to insure the required stroke, it is provided that the spring includes two circumferentially extending U-shaped spring arms that are capable of being placed into abutment with a supporting face on the brake pad. Another section of the spring abuts on a supporting face formed on the brake housing. The spring arms form an obtuse angle relative to a central section of the spring.
