Abstract: A disc brake assembly includes a brake clip having a U-shaped section, at least one retention tang, and an abutment leg. The U-shaped section has a base leg and opposing upper and lower legs extending from the base leg. The upper leg has an inner face facing the lower leg. The at least one tang extends away from the U-shaped section and inner face. The abutment leg extends from the lower leg and has a midpoint between a top edge and a bottom edge. The midpoint is not planar with the top and bottom edges.

Abstract: A disc brake for a motor vehicle includes a spring arrangement mounted on at least one mounting tongue of a brake pad carrier. The spring arrangement provides a predetermined spring travel, which is dimensioned such that a movement of the brake pad carrier for actuating the brake is permitted without brake pad wear compensation and such that when using up the predetermined spring travel the brake pad arrangement contacts the spring arrangement for brake pad wear compensation and moves the latter within a brake pad arrangement guide in order to compensate brake pad wear.

Abstract: Disk brake comprising a brake anchor plate (10) which is fastenable to a vehicle, a floating frame (12) which engages over a brake disk (14) of the brake and is guided on the brake anchor plate (10), at least one first brake shoe (22) which in the installed state of the brake is supported against the floating frame (12) at the side of the brake disk (14) directed towards the outside of the vehicle, at least one second brake shoe (20) which in the installed state of the brake is supported counter to braking forces against the brake anchor plate (10) at the side of the brake disk (14) directed towards the inside of the vehicle, at least one operating piston (24) which is disposed on the floating frame (12), wherein the brake shoes (20, 22) are removable substantially radially in relation to the axis of the brake, and wherein the first brake shoe (22) at its rear side (66) has a detent device (68) and the floating frame (12) has a detent device (72) complementary thereto, and that the brake shoe (22) is fastened

Abstract: A lever 22, which comprises a slot 28 and an abutment 30, is supported on a housing 18 so as to pivot about a pivot axis A. A cable 40, which is supported against the abutment 30 via an enlarged butt end 42, is placed in position in the slot 28, such that the lever 22 can be pivoted by a pulling force C of the cable. The lever 22 comprises a projection 34 which, in extension of the cable 40 and defining an intermediate space 32, is disposed opposite the abutment 30. The end 42 is accommodated in the intermediate space 32 and is supported against the projection 34 for transmitting a pushing force D of the cable. The projection is provided, at its side facing away from the abutment 30, with a ramp 38, on to which ramp the end 42 of the cable 40 is adapted to be placed, when the cable is inserted in the slot, and from which ramp the end 42 slides downward into the intermediate space 32 when a pulling force C is exerted on the cable.

Abstract: On the caliper (10) of a spot-type disc brake a hold-down spring (40) of sheet metal is supported with a supporting region (42) formed thereon near a brake pad (28); from there it extends in cantilever manner beyond the brake disc (18). The hold-down spring (40) comprises two pairs of spring legs (50, 52) which are separated from each other by a first pair of axial slots (60) and in the relaxed state lie at least approximately in a common plane and extend beyond the brake disc (18). A first pair of the spring legs (50) presses against the brake pad (34) remote from the support region (42). A second pair of the spring legs (52) is separated by a second pair of axial slots (64) from a third spring leg (54) in such a manner that the second pair (52) and the third spring leg (54) are joined only at their ends remote from the support region (42) without being bent over. The third spring leg (54) presses with its other end onto the brake pad (28) adjacent the support region (42).
