Abstract
In a friction pad assembly for a disc brake, a plurality of lining assemblies supported on a guide plate are pressed to a disc rotor. The lining assembly includes a friction material and a back plate portion. A plate fitting portion of the lining assembly is inserted and equipped to a guide hole portion, and braking torque is transmitted from the plate fitting portion to the guide plate. A plurality of link plates applying pressing force from a torque receiving plate to the lining assembly are provided between the torque receiving plate and the back plate portion adhered to the guide plate. A damping layer sandwiched between inner surfaces of the torque receiving plate is provided on back surface sides of the link plates.
