A spot-type disc brake with a housing comprising a housing bridge, with at least one housing leg having an actuating assembly comprising an actuator unit and a component movable along an axis of movement. At least one brake shoe is arranged at the component and is slidably supported on at least one support. The brake shoe is braced with the support against an abutment surface by means of a hold-down spring. The abutment surface of the hold-down spring is arranged non-parallel to the axis of movement. Thereby, not only a radial preloading force Fis produced, but also a force component Fnormal thereto, which assists the retracting movement of the brake shoe from the brake disc, thus improving the clearance behavior.
