Abstract: A spring for a caliper body where the spring may be shaped to be arranged straddling a brake disc for applying an elastic action on at least one brake pad to bias it away from said brake disc. The spring may have a first thrust portion and a second thrust portion adapted to apply an elastic action on at least one brake pad, biasing the brake pad at least away from the brake disc. The spring may also have a first coupling portion adapted to couple the spring with a first side bridge. The spring may also have a second coupling portion adapted to couple the spring with the second side bridge on a tangentially opposite part with respect to the first coupling portion. The spring may also have a backing portion. The spring may also have at least one concave spring portion.

Abstract: A pad-and-spring assembly has a supporting plate supporting friction material. The supporting plate has a disc facing surface, a plate back, and facing thrust structure. The friction material has a radially inner edge, and a radially outer edge, radially opposite to the radially inner edge, and defining the outer radial dimension level of the friction material with its tangential extension on the disc facing surface. The disc facing surface has a free surface located radially inside with respect to the tangential extension of the radially outer edge of the friction and having a through opening edge delimiting a through opening. An elastic device of the assembly has a body having at least one connecting portion, connecting to the body of the brake caliper and a supporting portion, axially crossing the through opening to apply elastic biasing action directly in axial direction to the through opening edge.

The floating element has a first floating element portion facing the first braking surface. The first floating element portion has a biasing device housing to accommodate a biasing device. The floating element has a first floating element bridge protruding straddling the brake disc and a plate-shaped portion extending on a plane along circumferential and radial directions.

Abstract: A brake caliper and a pad assembly may have a pad retention device securely attached to a brake pad. The brake caliper may have an actuation device of movement and application of a braking action, along a thrust direction, to the brake pad to abut it against a braking surface of a disc. The actuation device may have an actuation device seat having a seat opening, where the seat receives a retention device coupling portion of the retention device through the seat opening. The assembly may have a coupling ring accommodated in the seat, leaving a radial clearance, free to move in a radial direction and leaving an axial clearance, free to move in an axial direction parallel to the thrust device thrust direction and limited in its stroke so as not to escape from the seat during use.

The disc outlet channel side includes a disc outlet channel side portion free edge, a channel bottom includes a channel bottom portion free edge, a disc inlet channel side free edge, a disc outlet channel side portion free edge and a channel bottom portion free edge defining a cooling air collection and conveying inlet.

Abstract: A pad assembly adapted to be mounted in a caliper body for a disc brake has a pad-housing pocket. The disc brake defines an axial direction, either coinciding or parallel with the direction of the rotation axis of the brake disc associable with the caliper body, a radial direction (R-R), orthogonal to the axial direction, and a tangential (T-T) or circumferential (T-T) direction, orthogonal both to the axial direction and to the radial direction (R-R). The pad-housing pocket has at least one pocket wall to form a tangential abutment for a brake pad associable with the caliper body. The pad assembly has a brake pad having a support plate, adapted to form a support for at least one associable friction material, where the support plate has a main extension along the radial (R-R) and tangential (T-T) directions.

Abstract: A spring of a caliper of a brake disc is capable of avoiding knocking of the pad against the rests of the caliper body and suitable to be arranged astride a disc of a brake disc. The spring includes a sheared and bent laminar body and is mounted on a caliper between an edge of a support plate of a pad, and at least one wall of a caliper body. The laminar body includes a tab portion bent as a spring, a first hooking portion having at least one C-shaped portion to be arranged astride the plate edge, and a second hooking portion resting on a radially outer portion of the plate edge.

Abstract: A pad for a brake caliper for a disc brake of a vehicle having a caliper body and a brake disc adapted to abut against a braking band of the brake disc. The pad has at least one plate and one friction material supported by the plate. The plate has a first side and a second side arranged at opposite tangential ends of the plate. The plate also has at least a first side ear and at least a second side ear. The two ears are each provided with slots. The two slots are adapted to accommodate corresponding associable pins mounted to the caliper body with clearance.
