  • Patent number: 10280996
    Abstract: A disc brake includes a brake caliper, a brake pad, a retaining spring holding the brake pad in a radial direction relative to a brake axis, a retaining bracket pretensioning the retaining spring in the radial direction, a first holder on the brake caliper configured to support the retaining bracket towards a radial outside, and a second holder on the brake caliper configured to support the retaining bracket radially towards the radial outside but not in an axial direction, the second holder comprising a stop. At least one of the first holder or the second holder has a stop acting in a first axial direction. The retaining bracket has at least one of a first protrusion that rests on the retaining spring in a second axial direction opposite the first axial direction and a second protrusion that rests on the brake caliper in the second axial direction.
