<p>The invention concerns a spring guiding and maintaining friction elements, in particular friction pads and a disc brake comprising at least such a spring. The inventive spring (3) comprises assembly means capable of co operating with matching assembly means borne by a support, typically by the disc brake fork. The engagement of the spring (3) assembly means with those of the support ensures their being mutually locked while the spring (3) is maintained on the support. Advantageously, the spring (3) is fixed on the support on one side only, the side opposite the spring being free with, preferably a large clearance in the free state, before the friction element is mounted. The invention is particularly useful in the motor car industry and particularly for the manufacture of brakes for motor vehicles.</p> |
