Patent ID: 6920965

Claim:
A spot-type disc brake assembly, comprising: a brake housing; at least one actuating device arranged in the brake housing to apply an actuating force to a first brake pad detachably connected to the at least one actuating device; a second brake pad detachably connected to the at least one actuating device and anchored axially on the brake housing; and a spring assembly having a design that actively lifts and provides a clearance for the first brake pad, wherein the spring assembly is arranged against said first brake pad to preclude an unsymmetrical load on the first brake pad, wherein the spring assembly includes a first leg portion which is detachably hooked to a shackle of a carrier plate portion of the first brake pad, wherein said shackle is disposed on a first side of the carrier plate portion opposing a frictional lining portion of the first brake pad, wherein said frictional lining portion is secured on a second side of said carrier plate portion, wherein said frictional lining portion provides a point of force that radially overlaps a spring force that is exerted on a contact area of the first brake pad for actively lifting the first brake pad after a braking application, wherein the first leg portion of the spring assembly is supported on the first brake pad in a circumferential direction traversing a central plane of the at least one actuating device, wherein the spring assembly is arranged in a recess between two bridge portions of the brake housing, wherein the spring assembly includes a second leg portion supported in a circumferential direction on the brake housing by two spring arms supported in the recess, wherein the two spring arms extend opposedly in a circumferential direction in order to prevent tilting movement of the spring assembly.
