ABSTRACT:
On the caliper (10) of a spot-type disc brake a hold-down spring (40) of sheet metal is supported with a supporting region (42) formed thereon near a brake pad (28); from there it extends in cantilever manner beyond the brake disc (18). The hold-down spring (40) comprises two pairs of spring legs (50, 52) which are separated from each other by a first pair of axial slots (60) and in the relaxed state lie at least approximately in a common plane and extend beyond the brake disc (18). A first pair of the spring legs (50) presses against the brake pad (34) remote from the support region (42). A second pair of the spring legs (52) is separated by a second pair of axial slots (64) from a third spring leg (54) in such a manner that the second pair (52) and the third spring leg (54) are joined only at their ends remote from the support region (42) without being bent over. The third spring leg (54) presses with its other end onto the brake pad (28) adjacent the support region (42).
