Abstract

A pad clip positioned between a brake pad and a support bracket in a caliper assembly, the pad clip including a first portion and a second portion. The first portion provides an abutment surface for the brake pad and retains the brake pad in a guide channel of the support bracket. The first portion includes a first wall that is continuous with a second wall along a lateral edge of the first wall. The second wall is substantially perpendicular to the first wall. A third wall is continuous with the second wall along a lateral edge of the second wall and is substantially parallel to the first wall. At least one of the first wall, the second wall and the third wall act as a first abutment for the brake pad. A second portion provides an abutment surface for the brake pad. The second portion includes a fourth wall parallel to the third wall. The fourth wall is continuous with the third wall along a longitudinal end of the third wall. A fifth wall is continuous with the fourth wall along a lateral edge of the fourth wall. The fifth wall is substantially perpendicular to the fourth wall. At least one of the fourth wall and the fifth wall acts as a second abutment for the brake pad.
