Abstract: A friction pad assembly for a disc brake is provided. A lining assembly includes a friction material which is pressed against a disc rotor during braking and a back plate which is fixed to a back surface of the friction material, and the back plate includes a plate fitting part swingably fitted to a guide hole provided in a guide plate. The plate fitting part is fitted into the guide hole such that a braking torque acting when the friction material is pressed against the disc rotor is transmitted from the plate fitting part to the guide plate. A rotation regulator regulating a rotation of the lining assembly is integrally formed on a torque receiving plate fixed to the guide plate.

Abstract: A disk brake includes a floating caliper, a pair of brake pads, a driving piston and a caliper return mechanism. The floating caliper includes a base portion which is slidably supported via a guide pin to a support and a pair of pressing arms which extend from the base portion to pinch a disk rotor. The brake pads are provided in tip portions of the pressing arms so as to face side surfaces of the disk rotor. The driving piston is provided on one of the pressing arms so as to drive one of the brake pads toward one of the side surfaces. The caliper return mechanism is arranged in at least one of both end portions of the guide pin on a side opposite to the driving piston side so as to elastically bias the base portion to the side opposite to the driving piston side.
