A disc brake anti-rattle design

摘要

The invention relates to a backing plate (30,32) for the brake pad assemblies (14,16) of a disc brake system (10). The backing plate (30,32) includes tabs (46) located at each end (42,44) with a spring (34) supported on a top edge of the backing plate (30,32) between the tabs (46). The spring (34) maintains the brake pad assemblies (14,16) in proper orientation with respect to the disc (12) and reduce the amount of noise created by the brake pad assembly (14,16) components while the vehicle is in operation. <IMAGE>
