Brake pad spring and disk brake system

Abstract

The invention relates to a brake pad spring (1) for at least one brake pad (2), in particular for two brake pads, wherein the brake bad spring (1) comprises, for each of the at least one brake pad (2), two opposing walls (9, 10), configured for receiving a portion of a backplate (3) of the respective brake pad (2) therebetween, and for guiding the respective brake pad (2) between a non-braking position (A) in which the respective brake pad (2) is located at a first section (S1) of the opposing walls (9, 10), and a braking position (B) in which the brake pad (2) is located at a second section (S2) of the opposing walls (9, 10). At least a portion of at least one of the two opposing walls (9,10) is elastically movable and the two opposing walls (9, 10), at least sectionally, have a non-vanishing angle with respect to each other, a distance between the two opposing walls (9, 10) diminishing from the first section (S1) towards the second section (S2), in order to create a return spring effect for the respective brake pad (2), from the braking position (B) towards the non-braking position (A). The invention also relates to a disk brake system, comprising a brake disk (5) and a brake pad spring (1) which is mounted on a carrier (7).
