Abstract
A spring for friction pads which can be associated with a caliper of a disc brake to bias the friction pads elastically away from a brake disc may have a central stretch and two opposite transverse stretches, extending from the central stretch in two opposite transverse directions and each forming a supporting stretch, a resting stretch and a wing stretch extending between the supporting stretch and the resting stretch. The supporting stretches lie on the same supporting plane and the wing stretch may have an ascending wing stretch and a descending wing stretch. The spring may also have one or more fixing stretches connected to the central stretch and forming at least two opposite fixing stretches for elastic snap fixing to corresponding fixing seats of the caliper.
