  • Patent number: 11852207
    Abstract: An assembly has two pads having a support plate and a friction material coating, each pad being accommodated in a pocket of a caliper and positionable on a side of a brake disc. At least one spring applies an elastic bias on the pads so as to elastically bias the pads away from the brake disc. The support plate has a plate coupling portion having an inner lower edge, facing the brake disc in a radially inward direction or towards the rotation axis, an inner upper edge, facing the brake disc in a radially outward direction or opposite to the rotation axis, the inner upper edge continuing on a direct upper surface according to the axial direction (A-A), forming an upper spring-coupling plate portion edge. The spring is always in contact exclusively with the inner lower edge and the upper spring-coupling plate portion edge.

  • Publication number: 20220213942
    Abstract: A caliper body for a brake caliper for a disc brake, arranged straddling a disc, has a first elongated portion configured to face a first braking surface of the disc by interposing at least one first brake pad, a second elongated portion, opposite the first elongated portion and configured to face a second braking surface of the disc by interposing at least one second brake pad. A caliper bridge connects the first and second elongated portions. At least either the first or second elongated portion has a thrust device housing receiving at least one portion of a thrust device, configured to apply a thrust action on at least one brake pad to abut the at least one brake pad against a braking surface of the disc. A first annular housing radially opens into the thrust device housing and receives an elastic retraction element that applies a retracting action on the thrust device.
