Brake lining restoring device for a vehicle brake system

A brake lining arrangement for a vehicle disk brake, having:

• a brake lining carrier plate;
• at least one friction lining which is attached to the brake lining carrier plate;
• and
• a brake lining restoring device further comprising,
• at least one clamping limb with at least one first aperture,
• at least one base limb,
• the at least one clamping limb and the at least one base limb being connected to one another via at least one spring section, it being possible for the at least one clamping limb to be moved under elastic deformation relative to the at least one base limb,
• the brake lining restoring device being configured in such a way that a frictionally locking connection to a holding element which is assigned to the brake lining arrangement can be established via one edge (R) of the first aperture of the at least one clamping limb,
• the brake lining restoring device being configured, furthermore, in such a way that the frictionally locking connection can be released by way of a relative movement of the at least one clamping limb in the direction of the at least one base limb, which relative movement exceeds a predefined travel.

A brake lining restoring device for a brake lining arrangement of a vehicle disk brake, having:

• a base limb;
• a clamping limb with an aperture defined by an edge;
• and
• a spring section connecting the clamping limb to the base limb such that the clamping limb is elastically deformable relative to the base limb, wherein the edge is configured to form a frictionally locking connection with a holding element assigned to the brake lining arrangement, the frictionally locking connection being releasable in response to relative movement between the clamping limb and the base limb exceeding a predefined travel in a brake apply direction such that the edge is configured to have a first action point engaging the holding element prior to the relative movement exceeding the predefined travel, the edge having a second action point different from the first action point and configured to engage the holding element after the relative movement exceeds the predefined travel.
