A pad clip for a disc brake includes a base portion for engaging with a concave portion of a mounting member of the disc brake, a spring portion which extends from the base portion for forcing a projection portion of a disc pad of the disc brake which is fit into the concave portion in the radial direction of the wheel and a curved extension portion which connects the spring portion to the base portion.

Pad clip for a disc brake

A disc brake assembly includes a mounting member and two brake pads mounted on the mounting member on opposite sides of a disc to be acted upon the brake pads. The brake pads are mounted on backing plates which have circumferential ends disposed in facing relationship to torsion-resisting surfaces of the mounting member. The torsion-resisting surfaces have circumferentially extending projections which engage the backing plates in a manner resisting radial outward movement of the brake pads in response to frictional braking forces.
