Abstract
A brake assembly slide clip includes a base section. A clamping portion extends from the base section and includes a base clamping section, an inner axial holding tab and an outer axial holding tab which extend from opposed sides of from the base clamping section. A lower section extends from the base section. A tangential section extends from a second side of the lower section. An active retraction element extends from the tangential section and provides a surface against which the brake pad is disposed. The active retraction element includes a plurality of curved portions each being curved in a single direction. The active retraction element is movable in a first axial direction responsive to a brake pad force against the retraction element surface, and resiliently returns following removal of the force so as to move the brake pad in a second axial direction opposite the first axial direction.
