Abstract
A brake pad may have at least one plate. The plate may be provided with a first slot. The first slot may have a first slot edge adapted to accommodate a first pin. The first slot edge may have a first portion and a second portion, in which the brake pad has a tangential center-of-gravity plane. The first and second portions may be crossed by the tangential center-of-gravity plane so that under a reverse braking condition the brake pad rests against the first pin in at least a first contact point of the first slot. Under a forward braking condition the brake pad rests against the first pin in at least a second contact point of the first slot in which the second contact point of first slot lies in the tangential center-of-gravity plane.
