Disc Brake for a Utility Vehicle, and Brake Lining for a Disc Brake

A disc brake for a utility vehicle, comprising:

• a sliding brake caliper which engages over a brake disc in use;
• two brake pads which are arranged in the caliper, moveable in opposite directions in a direction of the brake disc and each have a pad carrier plate and a friction lining attached thereon,
• a vehicle-side brake carrier having pad shafts which are delimited in a direction of rotation of the brake disc by brake carrier horns, wherein the brake pads are each arranged in a pad shaft;
• and
• at least one resetting device, by which the brake pads can be returned after a braking-related displacement and release of the disc brake, wherein
• the resetting device has at least one resetting element designed as a leaf spring, the leaf spring being attached to a rear side of the pad carrier plate facing away from the friction lining, and having a spring arm that extends in a circumferential direction of the brake disc and is supported on the brake carrier as a fixed component.

A brake pad for a disc brake for a utility vehicle, comprising:

• a pad carrier plate and a friction lining held thereon, wherein
• the pad carrier plate has, in plan view, two opposite-lying longitudinal sides and two opposite-lying narrow sides;
• and
• at least one leaf spring, each leaf spring having a spring arm,
• wherein the leaf spring is attached, associated with a narrow side, to the side of the pad carrier plate that faces away from the friction lining, and the spring arm projects beyond its associated narrow side.
