Abstract:
A radially biasing portion (19) of a pad spring (14) includes a first extending portion (19A) extending from a lower surface plate (18B) of a guide plate portion (18) outwardly in a disc axial direction, a curled portion (19B) folded on a distal end side of the first extending portion, and a second extending portion (19C) extending from the curled portion in a direction approaching a disc (1), the second extending portion with which an ear portion (11A) of a friction pad (10) comes into contact. A contact portion (20) extends from the second extending portion of the radially biasing portion (19) toward a middle of the friction pad in a disc rotational direction of the friction pad. The contact portion comes into surface contact with a contacted surface (11B) as a lateral surface of the friction pad (backing plate 11) in the disc rotational direction.
