Pad clip for disc brake

摘要

A pad clip for use in a disc brake in which a concave and convex fitting structure is formed in a braking support portion between each of friction pads disposed opposite to a rotor, and a support member for bearing braking force from the friction pads. The pad clip is installed between projections of the friction pads and anchor concave grooved portions of a support member in the concave and convex fitting portions to thereby support the friction pads respectively. In the pad clip, plate spring portions for urging the friction pads in the radially outward direction of the rotor are formed in one of opposite portions in the radial direction of the rotor, which are the portions following U-shaped portions in the concave and convex fitting portions. Guide projecting portions sidewise spread out are formed at side edges of the plate spring portions, and the lower edge portions of the projections are engaged with the guide projecting portions respectively so that the plate spring portions can be pushed and spread.
