ABSTRACT:
A disk brake for a vehicle, for example, an automobile, is provided with a return spring to prevent dragging of pads by a disk when the brake is released. The disk brake has a carrier secured to a non-rotating part of a vehicle, a pair of friction pads supported by the carrier at respective positions which face each other across a disk, a pair of pad guides for slidably guiding the friction pads, a caliper supported by the carrier to press the pair of friction pads against the disk, and a linear return spring retained at both end portions thereof by the pair of friction pads, respectively, to bias the friction pads away from the disk. The return spring is bent radially of the disk at an intermediate portion thereof to form a single bent portion which is retained at the inward end thereof by a hook that is formed on the pad guide.
