Abstract
The invention relates to a brake lining mounting, especially for rail vehicles, comprising a lining support which is encompassed at both of its longitudinal ends by guide sections, preferably at least partially by the plates of a lining holder which holds the friction lining. A pin is provided on the lining support and is able to move perpendicularly to the lining support. When the pin is placed under spring tension as the lining holder is pushed up onto the lining support, the pin extends through an opening provided in the lining holder in such a way that the lining holder is stopped on the lining support by this single pin and cannot move in relation to the lining support. At least one spring in the form of a spring clip acts on the pin. The spring clip can be moved into a raised release position against the force of its own tension, carrying the pin with it. The pin is thus released from its engagement with the opening in the lining holder in such a way that when the pin is in its release position, the lining holder can be pushed away from the lining support.
