Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a disc brake comprising a brake caliper (1), which engages over a brake disc that can rotate on an axis (A) and brake linings (2, 3) arranged on both sides thereof in a lining groove (6), comprising a hold-down arrangement (8) formed by a rigid hold-down piece (7) and a leaf spring (9) and leading transversely over the brake linings (2, 3), wherein the hold-down piece (7) has a central section (7b) forming the majority of its total length and leading over the lining groove (6), and two end sections (7a, 7c), wherein the hold-down piece is supported against the brake linings (2, 3) towards the disc brake axis (A), and wherein said hold-down piece extends at least partially into a slot (14) of the brake caliper (1) with the first end section (7a) thereof, and wherein the leaf spring (9) extends in the longitudinal direction of the hold-down piece (7) and is spring-elastically supported against the outer side of the hold-down piece (7) facing away from the brake linings (2, 3). In order to more simply configure the fixing of the elements of the hold-down arrangement in terms of assembly and production, without thereby weakening the fixture, the first end section (7a) of the hold-down piece (7) is angled in relation to the central section (7b).
