ABSTRACT:
The present specification describes and claims a friction pad assembly for use in a sliding caliper disc brake and a sliding caliper disc brake incorporating such an assembly. The friction pad assembly comprises a backing plate, a pad of friction material secured to the backing plate, and a leaf spring, a central clip portion and two oppositely directed arms forming said leaf spring, the leaf spring being attached to the backing plate by means of said central clip portion. When the assembly is incorporated in a sliding caliper disc brake which comprises a torque member and a caliper member, the leaf spring engages the caliper member both pressing the friction pad assembly down onto guides in the torque member and biassing the torque member and caliper member apart to take up any clearance. Thus the possibility of the assembly rattling in the brake and the torque member and caliper member rattling together, is reduced.
