ABSTRACT:
A disc brake used in a car wherein a friction pad is urged onto the disc surface to restrain the movement of the disc, which disc brake, for facitating the mounting of the friction pad, is provided with (1) a backing plate of the friction pad having a notch sandwiched by two projection portions, an upper, and a lower which is smaller than the upper in projected length, on opposite upper end corners of the pad for being fitted into by a guide rail formed on a stationary member in order to allow the friction pad to slidably move in a normal direction to the disc surface; (2) a guide rail having a recess on one part thereof for allowing the lower projection portion formed smaller on the lower side of the notch to pass in a normal direction to the guide rail but not allowing the upper projection portion formed larger on the upper side of the notch to pass in the same direction; and (3) an anti-rattle spring comprising a flat body portion, an upper holding down pawl, a flange portion extending perpendicularly from the body portion, and a lower resilient pawl, which is easy to be incorporated into a complete disc brake assembly and efficient in preventing the rattling of the brake assembly.
