Abstract
A disc brake pad includes a lining and a back plate supporting the lining and having a projecting lug portion and a torque transfer surface. The projecting lug portion projects towards a rotor exit side. The torque transfer surface is disposed at a side edge portion which is situated further radially inwards than the lug portion. The projecting lug portion includes a first projecting arc-shaped surface portion which is disposed at a radially innermost portion of a radially inner surface of the lug portion. A portion of the torque transfer surface which lies near to a radially outer end of the torque transfer surface and which is situated further radially inwards than both of the radially inner surface and an action line of a brake tangential force exerted on braking is most projected toward the rotor exit side on the torque transfer surface.
