ABSTRACT:
A friction pad for braking cooperates with a support member, which receives a brake torque produced in the friction pad, in forming a recess and projection fitting portion. A pad clip is interposed between the friction pad and the support member to thereby be able to reduce the sliding resistance of the friction pad. An anchor piece, which extends downwardly from a U-shaped portion of the pad clip, is inclined and disposed in such a manner that a pad contact portion, which serves as a contact portion between the anchor piece and friction pad is situated more outwardly in the rotor diameter direction than a support contact portion serving as a contact portion between the anchor piece and the support member. Due to such arrangement of the anchor piece, the energizing actions of the anchor piece and rotor diameter direction pressing portion with the support member contact portion as the fulcrum thereof can restrict the movement of the friction pad to thereby prevent generation of a rattling noise.
