Patent ID: 8556046

Claim:
A pad for a brake caliper of a disc brake suitable to be clamped against a braking band of a brake disc of said disc brake, said pad having eyelets for receiving corresponding pins of the caliper, in which said pins define pin outlines, and said eyelets define eyelet outlines, said pin outlines having one or more curved pin contact portions with pin curvature radii, and said eyelet outlines having one or more curved eyelet contact portions with eyelet curvature radii, so that the contact between the pad and the pins can occur at least partially at said pin and eyelet contact portions, wherein the eyelet curvature radii are greater than the pin curvature radii, and the eyelets and the pins are shaped and arranged so that contact between the contact portions of the pins and eyelets takes place solely at one point at a time and does not involve other points, the eyelets being arranged so that, following said braking band clamping, the pad is drawn on one or the other of the two pins as a function of the rotation direction of said brake disc, wherein the eyelet outlines of said two eyelets are mutually symmetric relative to a median axis of the pad, and wherein said eyelet outlines are closed and have an essentially rectangular or squared shape, with an outer upper corner, an outer lower corner, an inner lower corner, and an inner upper corner which are rounded, one or more of said rounded corners forming said eyelet contact portions.
