Abstract
A pair of engaging protrusions provided in a support member and a pair of engaging grooves provided in a back plate of a pad are engaged with each other, and the pad is capable of being displaced only in the axial direction of a rotor. Each engaging protrusion is composed of a rising section and a bent section which is bent at the tip end of the rising section at a right angle. The rising section composes a brake torque bearing section, and the bent section composes a rotation preventing section of the pad. The pad is prevented from rattling with respect to the support member by first and second pad clips.
