<p>There is disclosed an arrangement to hold the brake-lining carrier plates and their associated brake lining in place in a spot-type disc brake. The holding arrangement eliminates one of the usual holding pins without any disadvantage. A cross-shaped expanding spring having a longitudinal beam and a transverse beam is employed in the holding arrangement. This spring has one end of the longitudinal beam engaged in a recess in a holding pin while a pair of transverse projections extending in opposite directions are formed integral with and on the other end of the longitudinal beam. The transverse projections take over the function of one holding pin. The transverse beam is provided with downward extending projections to engage the surface of the upper edge of both the carrier plates.</p> |
