Patent ID: 7641025

Claim:
A disc brake having a brake disc, comprising: a caliper straddling the brake disc; a brake application device arranged in the caliper for applying a braking force; adjusting devices having electric motor drives for compensating brake pad wear by adjusting a release play, one adjusting device being arranged on each side of the brake disc, wherein the adjusting devices are connected with the brake pads for transmitting pull-back forces; a coupling device mutually coupling the brake pads such that, while being movable toward one another to compensate for wear, a moving apart from one another only occurs by way of a predefined path; wherein the coupling device comprises: a brake pad holding clamp extended beyond the brake disc and brake pads at a right angle with respect to friction surfaces of the brake disc, the brake pad holding clamp being supported at each end on the caliper; wherein the brake pad holding clamp presses the two brake pads by way of a brake pad holding spring arranged on the brake pads against supporting surfaces in a brake pad guide of the caliper; and wherein on a surface facing the brake pads, the brake pad holding clamp has a profiled section in areas in which corresponding brake pad holding springs are supported against the brake pad holding clamp via projections of the brake pad holding springs which engage in the profiling under a pretensioning force of the brake pad holding springs.
