ABSTRACT:
A disc brake has a structure for supporting the friction pads in which a caliper body including a bridge section extending over a disc and first and second arm sections is provided with a pad spring for resiliently holding the upper portions of the friction pads to come in pressure contact with the sliding plane of the disc. The friction pads are provided at the upper parts of the backing plates thereof with recesses or projections, and the pad spring is constructed from a holder and a bent extension located at its center. The holder is resiliently caused to engage fixedly with the inner side walls or the inner upper walls of the bridge section, and the bent extension is kept in contact with at least the side wall of the recesses or projections positioned on the side out of which the disc rotates, whereby the friction pads are held under pressures against the torque-receiving portion of a bracket located on the side out of which the disc rotates, and are forced in the direction of the rotating shaft of the disc.
