Patent Summary
A spring for elastically retaining and positioning brake pads in a disc brake caliper, comprising a longitudinal piece with ends that abut against support pins and a cross piece with ends that abut against the upper edges of the pads, wherein the cross piece has an inclined lower surface that biases the pads away from each other to maintain a separation from the brake disc after braking. The spring is designed to reduce residual braking torque when the brake is deactivated and to improve pad positioning and wear uniformity over the life cycle of the brake.
