A disc brake of the partial lining type for road vehicles, especially utility vehicles, uses lining pad holders with friction which are pressed by leaf springs against guide surfaces of lining housings to prevent the brake linings from chattering and to prevent the guide surfaces from being deflected. When fitted, the leaf springs (5) are pressed by means of a holding bracket (7) against the outer edge of a pad holder (1) introduced into the lining housing and where necessary also against the outer edge of a pressure distribution plate inserted in a housing, whereby there are window-like apertures (21) in the wings (23) extending laterally from the centre (15) of the leaf spring (5) which, with the leaf spring (5) under tension, can be guided via holding clips (19) formed on the outer edge of the pad holder (1) or the pressure distribution plate in such a way that the outer edges of the apertures (21), with the leaf spring in the released or partly tensioned state, engage with edges formed by rear cutouts (25) on the holding clips (19) and prevent any undesired release of the leaf spring. This prevents any sudden release which would present a danger for the operating staff when the leaf spring (5) is removed. |
