Abstract

A disc brake includes a brake pad, a retaining spring, and a retaining bracket. The retaining bracket pretensions the retaining spring radially inwardly relative to a rotation axis of a brake against the brake pad. A smallest radial distance (D) of the retaining spring from the brake pad in a region in which the retaining bracket overlaps the retaining spring in a radial direction is greater than a smallest radial distance (d) of the retaining bracket from the brake pad in a region in which the retaining bracket overlaps the brake pad in the radial direction.

Claims (14)

1. A disc brake comprising:

a brake pad;

a retaining spring; and

a retaining bracket configured to pretension the retaining spring radially inwardly relative to a rotation axis of a brake against the brake pad,

wherein a smallest radial distance (D) of the retaining spring from the brake pad in a region in which the retaining bracket overlaps the retaining spring in a radial direction is greater than a smallest radial distance (d) of the retaining bracket from the brake pad in a region in which the retaining bracket overlaps the brake pad in the radial direction.

2. The disc brake as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the smallest radial distance (D) of the retaining spring from the brake pad in the region in which the retaining bracket overlaps the retaining spring in the radial direction ranges from 1.5 to 4 mm.

3. The disc brake as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the smallest radial distance (d) of the retaining bracket from the brake pad in the region in which the retaining bracket overlaps the brake pad in the radial direction ranges from 1 to 3.5 mm.

4. The disc brake as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in a rest state of the brake, a difference between the smallest radial distance (D) of the retaining spring from the brake pad in the region in which the retaining bracket overlaps the retaining spring in the radial direction and the smallest radial distance (d) of the retaining bracket from the brake pad in the region in which the retaining bracket overlaps the brake pad in the radial direction ranges from 0.5 to 2 mm.

5. The disc brake as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a shoulder, wherein a radial delimitation of the shoulder determines the smallest radial distance (d) of the retaining bracket from the brake pad in the region in which the retaining bracket overlaps the brake pad in the radial direction.

6. The disc brake as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the shoulder lies in front of or behind the retaining spring in the axial direction.

7. The disc brake as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the shoulder extends through a passage opening in the retaining spring.

8. The disc brake as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the shoulder is formed on the brake pad.

9. The disc brake as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the shoulder reaches over the retaining spring.

10. The disc brake as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the shoulder is formed on the retaining bracket.
