Abstract
In a disc brake, an anti-squeal shim plate is disposed between the backing plate of each pad and a corresponding press member which presses the pad toward a disc rotor. The press member presses the pad against the disc rotor via the anti-squeal shim plate in order to generate braking force. A plurality of dimples are provided on the anti-squeal shim plate in order to limit to a specific area a press contact area between the backing plate and the press member during braking with very small pressing force.
