Abstract:
The invention relates to a disc brake comprising a brake calliper ( 1 ) engaging over a brake disc ( 2 ) and brake pads ( 3 ) on both sides of the brake disc, a hold-down means ( 10 ) for the pads securing the brake pads ( 3 ) against falling out of the disc brake, which extends, in contact with the rear plates ( 5 ) of both brake pads ( 3 ), in the transverse direction in relation to same, and comprising a flat spring ( 12 ) which is spring-elastically in contact with the side of the hold-down means ( 10 ) for the pads facing away from the brake pads ( 3 ), which extends in the longitudinal direction thereof, and which is supported with both spring ends ( 31, 32 ) thereof in spring abutments ( 21, 22 ). A securing means ( 8 ) is a component of one of the spring abutments, which extends transverse to the hold-down means ( 10 ) for the pads and to the flat spring ( 12 ). In order to improve and simplify the assembly of the hold-down assembly by technical means, e.g. after exchanging the brake pads, according to the invention, a further component of the hold-down means ( 21 ) of the spring is a clip ( 40 ) which is connected to the brake calliper ( 1 ) via the securing means ( 8 ), and with which the inner side ( 45 ) of the spring end ( 31 ) facing the securing means ( 8 ) is in contact.

Claim (Index 31):
A flat spring of a hold-down assembly for brake pads of a disc brake, the flat spring comprising a contact site formed as a bend or curvature of the flat spring at a middle portion of the flat spring, wherein the bend or curvature comprises an outer curvature side facing the brake pads, wherein the flat spring comprises a first spring end with a first interlocking element extending substantially transversely to a main extent of the flat spring.
