Abstract
A disk brake has a fork with two opposing arms each having a C-shaped axial seat designed to receive a brake pad with two opposing lateral lugs, each lug receiving a pad spring having at least one lower sliding branch, in which a laminar element is interposed between the lug and C-shaped seat, the element having a first lower sliding flange receiving the sliding branch of the pad spring and a second upper vertical supporting flange in the seat. The laminar element is elastically deformable between an initial free state in which the sliding flange and the lower face of the seat form a first acute angle and at least one state of loading by the pad spring in which the sliding flange forms a second acute or zero angle that is less than the first acute angle, and in which the sliding branch of the pad spring is pre-stressed.
