Abstract
A brake pad retraction spring that includes a coil, first and second biasing arms, and first and second biasing tips. The first and second biasing arms may extend from the center coil. The first and second biasing tips may extend from ends of the first and second biasing arms, respectively.
Claims20
A brake pad retraction spring comprising:
- a coil that extends around a center axis and intersects a center plane that is disposed substantially orthogonal to the center axis;
- first and second biasing arms that extend from the coil;
- a first biasing tip that extends along a first central axis from an end of the first biasing arm;
- and
- a second biasing tip that extends along a second central axis from an end of the second biasing arm, wherein the first central axis extends at a first oblique angle relative to the center plane, and the second central axis extends at a second oblique angle relative to the center plane when the brake pad retraction spring is in a free state.

A brake pad retraction spring comprising:
- a coil that extends around a center axis;
- first and second biasing arms that extend from the coil;
- a first biasing tip that extends along a first central axis at an angle from an end of the first biasing arm;
- and
- a second biasing tip that extends along a second central axis at an angle from an end of the second biasing arm, wherein the first biasing tip and the second biasing tip are disposed on opposite sides of a center plane when the brake pad retraction spring is in a free state, the center plane intersecting the coil and the center axis.

A brake pad retraction spring comprising:
- a coil that extends around a center axis;
- a first biasing arm that extends from the coil;
- a first biasing tip that extends along a first central axis from an end of the first biasing arm toward a center plane that intersects the coil and is disposed substantially perpendicular to the center axis;
- a second biasing arm that extends from the coil;
- and
- a second biasing tip that extends along a second central axis from an end of the second biasing arm away from the center plane.
