An assembly comprising: - at least two pads having a support plate and a friction material coating, each of said at least two pads being adapted to be accommodated in a pocket of a caliper so that each of said at least two pads can be positioned on a side of a brake disc of a disc brake facing opposite braking surfaces; said brake disc being a rotor adapted to rotate about a rotation axis which defines an axial direction (A-A), parallel to said rotation axis, a radial direction (R-R), orthogonal to said rotation axis, and a circumferential direction (C-C) orthogonal to said axial (A-A) and radial (R-R) directions and a tangential direction (T-T) duly orthogonal to a radial (R-R) and circumferential (C-C) direction at their point of intersection; - at least one spring, shaped to be arranged straddling the disc brake, wherein said spring applies an elastic bias on the pads so as to bias the pads elastically away from the brake disc; wherein said at least one spring is configured to be directly connected only to the pads; said support plate comprising at least one plate coupling portion, wherein, in a section of said plate coupling portion on a plane containing the axial direction (A-A) and the radial direction (R-R), said plate coupling portion comprises: - an inner lower edge, adapted to face the brake disc in the radially inward direction or towards the disc rotation axis; - an inner upper edge, adapted to face the brake disc in the radially outward direction or opposite to the disc rotation axis; - said inner upper edge continues on a direct upper surface according to an axial direction (A-A) parallel to said disc rotation axis, thus forming an upper spring-coupling plate portion edge; and wherein said spring is always in contact exclusively with: - said inner lower edge and - said upper spring-coupling plate portion edge; so that, during wear of the friction material of the pads, the spring rotates like a hinge about the spring-coupling plate portion, sliding the spring against said inner lower edge and said upper spring-coupling plate portion edge to apply an elastic bias for distancing the pads from the brake, when the braking action ceases, substantially globally directed in the axial direction (A-A). - at least two pads having a support plate and a friction material coating, each of said at least two pads being adapted to be accommodated in a pocket of a caliper so that each of said at least two pads can be positioned on a side of a brake disc of a disc brake facing opposite braking surfaces; said brake disc being a rotor adapted to rotate about a rotation axis which defines an axial direction (A-A), parallel to said rotation axis, a radial direction (R-R), orthogonal to said rotation axis, and a circumferential direction (C-C) orthogonal to said axial (A-A) and radial (R-R) directions and a tangential direction (T-T) duly orthogonal to a radial (R-R) and circumferential (C-C) direction at their point of intersection; - at least one spring, shaped to be arranged straddling the disc brake, wherein said spring applies an elastic bias on the pads so as to bias the pads elastically away from the brake disc; wherein said at least one spring is configured to be directly connected only to the pads; said support plate comprising at least one plate coupling portion, wherein, in a section of said plate coupling portion on a plane containing the axial direction (A-A) and the radial direction (R-R), said plate coupling portion comprises: - an inner lower edge, adapted to face the brake disc in the radially inward direction or towards the disc rotation axis; - an inner upper edge, adapted to face the brake disc in the radially outward direction or opposite to the disc rotation axis; - said inner upper edge continues on a direct upper surface according to an axial direction (A-A) parallel to said disc rotation axis, thus forming an upper spring-coupling plate portion edge; - an inner lower edge, adapted to face the brake disc in the radially inward direction or towards the disc rotation axis; - an inner upper edge, adapted to face the brake disc in the radially outward direction or opposite to the disc rotation axis; - said inner upper edge continues on a direct upper surface according to an axial direction (A-A) parallel to said disc rotation axis, thus forming an upper spring-coupling plate portion edge; and wherein said spring is always in contact exclusively with: - said inner lower edge and - said upper spring-coupling plate portion edge; so that, during wear of the friction material of the pads, the spring rotates like a hinge about the spring-coupling plate portion, sliding the spring against said inner lower edge and said upper spring-coupling plate portion edge to apply an elastic bias for distancing the pads from the brake, when the braking action ceases, substantially globally directed in the axial direction (A-A). - said inner lower edge and - said upper spring-coupling plate portion edge;
