Disc brake for a commercial vehicle

A disc brake for a utility vehicle comprising:

• a brake caliper configured to engage over a vehicle brake disc and be secured to a positionally fixed brake carrier, the brake carrier having at least one lining space bounded by lateral brake carrier lugs,
• a brake lining associated with each of the at least one lining spaces, each brake lining being configured to be inserted into the respective one of the at least one lining spaces in an insertion direction,
• a locking element associated with each brake lining, the locking element being dimensionally stable when in an installed position in the disc brake, is arranged as a counter bearing in the opposite direction to the insertion direction of the brake lining,
• wherein
• each locking element is supported on the respective brake lining or the brake carrier and is secured to the brake carrier or to the respective brake lining,
• the lateral brake carrier lugs include at least one recess facing the at least one lining space into which the locking element is engaged, and
• each locking element is a flexurally rigid, hoop shaped sheet metal strip configured to extend between opposing ones of the brake carrier lugs on a side of the brake lining facing away from a rotation axis of the brake disc, such that two ends of the at least one locking element each engage in one of the opposing ones of the brake carrier lugs in a positively locking manner.
