Wheel brake arrangement

A brake pad arrangement comprising a backing plate and a resilient member:

• wherein the backing plate is arranged to support a brake pad on a first surface of the backing plate for engaging a brake disc in an axial direction of the brake pad arrangement normal to the first surface;
• wherein the resilient member is connected to a second surface of the backing plate opposite to the first surface, and arranged to engage first and second axially extending side surfaces of a retainer bar that extends axially across the brake pad arrangement when in use, the first and second axially extending side surfaces facing away from each other;
• wherein the resilient member is arranged to be tensioned during a braking action, with tensioning of the resilient member serving to urge the brake pad arrangement in the axial direction away from the brake disc upon cessation of the braking action;
• and
• wherein the resilient member is further arranged to generate a radial force component in a direction away from the retainer bar to prevent a radial motion of the brake pad arrangement.
