Abstract: Friction pad (1) for mounting on a brake lining, including a base (11) and at least one first friction material block (12), which is attached to at least one portion of said base (11), the base (11) and the first friction material block (12) defining a first plane at the interface thereof. The base (11) has: a mounting bracket (111) to which the at least first friction material block (12) is attached, at least one first hooking interface (112) distant from the mounting bracket (111) in a direction parallel to the first plane, for directly or indirectly attaching the pad (1) to the brake lining, and at least one first neck (113) extending parallel to the first plane, forming a resilient leaf between the mounting bracket (111) and the first hooking interface (112), to enable the mounting bracket (111) to accommodate translational and rotational movements in every direction.

Abstract: A disc brake pad including a brake lining having at least one friction surface, and provided with a heat dissipating structure which circulates the heat to be dissipated in one or more directions substantially parallel to the plane of the friction surface. The structure is arranged in the lining and/or in a carrier plate if there is one, or at the interface. The structure may be formed from cylindrical holes with axes following one or more directions substantially parallel to the friction surface. These holes are through holes, such that the air can freely pass therethrough. The structure may also be formed from projections at the periphery of the carrier plate, optionally fitted with cooling fins, or bars which are good heat conductors enclosed a component of the pad.
