A brake lining retention device for a disc brake of a motor vehicle. The brake lining retention device includes a brake carrier fixed at the vehicle side and having a lining shaft for receiving a brake lining, wherein the lining shaft is delimited at the brake disc leading side in relation to a main rotation direction of the brake disc and delimited at the brake disc trailing side by a lining horn-like member of the brake carrier. The brake lining retention device includes a brake lining guided in the lining shaft and has a lining retention member and a friction lining fixed thereto, and a resilient element supported on a lining horn-like member and a support face of the lining retention member, wherein the face is adjacent to the lining horn-like member and the resilient element is inserted in a recess of the lining retention member.

An engaging projection formed on a back surface of a pressure plate is inserted into an engaging hole formed in an outside shim plate. A flat surface parts of the engaging projection constituting a side surface thereof are opposed to a linear parts of the engaging hole constituting an inner peripheral edge thereof. When the outside shim plate exists at a neutral position with respect to the pressure plate, the flat surface parts and linear parts are slightly inclined with respect to each other. A rotation of the outside shim plate about an axis of a piston based on a rotation force applied from a leading end face of the piston to the outside shim plate is regulated by line contact between the flat surface parts and linear parts.

A pad retaining spring for a brake pad on a disc brake includes a spring section which can be mounted captively and so that it can be radially deflected at an edge of the pad carrier plate. The lining retaining spring has a partial section designed as a clamping section which extends at an angle from one end of the spring section of the pad retaining spring. A brake pad retainer for a disc brake on a motor vehicle is also provided.

This invention relates to a brake clip for use with a disc brake assembly. The brake clip includes a U-shaped section having a base leg with opposing first and second legs extending from the base leg. An abutment leg extends from at least one of the first and second legs of the U-shaped section. An extension leg extends from the abutment leg. The abutment leg is in contact with an anchor bracket of the disc brake assembly and the extension leg is in contact with a brake pad of the disc brake assembly when the brake clip is disposed therebetween.

The present disclosure increases the braking force of a parking spring brake mechanism without enlarging a device and without substantial increase in cost. The subject of the present disclosure is a brake cylinder device provided with a parking spring brake mechanism wherein a first piston moves in a prescribed braking direction. The brake cylinder device is provided with a brake force transmitting section having an inclined surface 38 that is inclined so as to press a brake output section in an advancement direction by moving along with the first piston in the braking direction. The inclined surface includes a first inclined surface provided in a distal end portion, and a second inclined surface provided in a proximal end portion and inclined more than the first inclined surface with respect to the advancement direction.
