Abstract
The guiding device for brake pad supports of a spot-type disc brake includes a pair of guide pins supported in the caliper housing movable in an axial direction, and a spring clamped between the guide pins and the brake housing with the spring being loaded by the axial movement of the guide pins, when the brake is applied. The spring acts to return the guide pins to their previous position, when the brake is released, in order to achieve a positive retraction of the brake pad guided by the pins.
