Friction pad assembly for disc brakes.

摘要

The friction pad assembly is for a sliding pin caliper disc brake and comprises a pair of opposed friction pads 12, 13 each having a backing plate 10. The backing plate has an upstanding lug 16. A pin 18 extends between the pads and locates in aperture 17 in the lugs. A leaf spring 18 is supported by the pin and has a central portion 19a which engages the pin and arms 20 which extend in opposite directions transverse to the pin. The spring rests against a bridge member 33 and urges the friction pads firmly in position in the assembly to prevent rattling.
