Abstract
A disc brake that suppresses braking noises when a vehicle moves backward include an urging spring urging a friction pad toward a rotationally exiting side of a disc when the vehicle moves forward, the urging spring being arranged between a hook portion of the friction pad and a torque receiving portion of a carrier. The urging spring formed through bend of an elastic plate material has its spring constant that is set to be a small value to avoid resonance frequency causing noise where the base end side thereof is fixed to the hook portion of the backing plate while the top end side thereof elastically abuts to the torque receiving portion of the carrier. The urging spring is located at the position that is outside in the radial direction from the center position of the hook portion in its width direction.
