The present invention relates to a spot-type disc brake for automotive vehicles and an associated brake pad with a retaining device for the brake pad ( ) on an actuating means ( ), with the brake pad ( ) being additionally clamped to a pad mounting support. These two functions are assumed by two separate spring means ( ) according to the present invention. A first spring means ( ) clamps the brake pad ( ) axially with respect to the actuating means ( ), especially a brake piston, and a second spring means ( ) ensures the radially rattle-free clamping engagement of the brake pad ( ) with respect to an associated pad mounting support. Both spring means ( ) are active irrespective of each other so that undesirable transverse forces on the actuating means ( ), i.e., vertically to the axial direction ( ), are avoided.

Spot-type disc brake with a retaining device for a brake pad

The invention relates to a spot-type disc brake for automotive vehicle with a floating caliper ( ) displaceably borne on a vehicle-fixed brake support ( ) and bridging a brake disc as well as brake pads ( ) arranged on both sides of the brake disc, where the brake pads ( ) are axially displaceably guided in the brake support ( ). To achieve a particularly radially rattle-free fixation of the brake pads ( ) as well as the floating caliper ( ) on the brake support ( ), it is provided to support the floating caliper ( ) on its, with respect to the vehicle, outside on the brake support ( ) through the outer brake pad ( ). To this end, the outer brake pad ( ) is radially locked on the brake support ( ), and the outer brake pad ( ) itself on the corresponding housing leg ( ).
