Abstract

A spot-type disc brake for automotive vehicles, with a housing and with a brake carrier provided with two arms which are positioned in radial direction relative to the brake disc at a distance from each other and with a brake lining slidably guided at the arms in the direction of brake application and furnished with a carrier plate. The brake lining is connected to the arms in a positive locking fit in the direction of the circumference of the brake disc in such a manner that the frictional force occurring at the brake lining is transmitted to both arms at least in the presence of more elevated brake application forces. The arms with surfaces facing each other form a guide which is open in radially outward direction and serves to accommodate and guide the brake shoe. One arm in the vicinity of the brake disc is formed with a groove extending in the direction of brake application and is open outwardly. The housing is arranged axially slidably on pins by of pin guides and the housing bridge is supported through the carrier plate. The contour of the brake lining is positioned outside a swinging range of the housing and is swingable about one of the pins.
