A heat shield element (1) for a brake caliper of a disc brake, unusually capable of providing complete radial and axial protection for the brake caliper, which is arranged straddling a disc brake disc and having a vehicle-side elongated portion and an opposite wheel-side elongated portion connected to each other by at least one caliper bridge, said heat shield element (1) comprising a sheet-like heat shield element body (3) in one piece obtained from a flat sheet which is cut to shape and bent; wherein said heat shield element body (3) comprises: at least two opposite snap engagement tongues (7) adapted to snap-engage a portion of the brake caliper to interpose said heat shield element body (3) between said brake caliper and said disc brake disc and support said heat shield element (1) engaged with said brake caliper; at least one arched back (9) extending along a circumferential direction following a curved line from an inner end to an outer end; and wherein said heat shield element body (3) comprises at least two mutually opposite side shield portions (10), each extending orthogonally to said circumferential direction in a radial plane, said at least two side shield portions (10) forming, with said arched back (9), transversely to said circumferential direction,an inverted "U" section adapted to place said heat shield element body (3) straddling said disc brake disc; and wherein said at least two opposite snap engagement tongues (7) are arranged one at said inner end of the arched back (9), the other at said outer end of the arched back (9), so as to embrace and engage said at least one caliper bridge therebetween, thus placing said arched back (9) between said at least one caliper bridge and said disc brake disc and each of said at least two side shield portions (10) between a portion of said elongated portions and said disc brake disc as a heat protection of the brake caliper. |
