Claim 13:
14. A vehicle brake (1), in particular disc brake of a commercial vehicle, the vehicle brake (1) comprising:
a brake disc,
a brake pad (40) having a friction lining (40a), wherein the friction lining (40a) is configured to bear against the brake disc during braking, and a brake pad carrier (30) configured to carry the friction lining (40a) proximate to the brake disc, the brake pad carrier (30) comprising:
a support surface (32) for carrying the brake pad (40),
a recess (38) extending into the support surface (32) in an axial direction (A), and
a wear indication device (34, 34′) arranged at least partially inside the recess (38),
wherein the brake pad carrier (30) includes a clamping member (39, 39′) resting against an inner wall of the recess (38), wherein the clamping member (39, 39′) applies a clamping force on the wear indication device (34) in a radial direction;
wherein the clamping force applied in a radial direction provides a frictional clamping force, wherein the frictional clamping force permits an axial retraction of the wear indication device out of the recess when the frictional clamping force is overcome.
