Abstract

In a spot-type disc brake for motor vehicles a floating caliper is guided displaceably on a brake support by means of sliding pins (26). Inner and outer brake pads are likewise displaceably mounted parallel to the sliding pins with respect to the brake support. On at least one of the sliding pins a resetting means (50) with a spring (52) is provided which is arranged around the sliding pin as part of a frictionally locking connection between the sliding pin and a bore guiding said pin. The bore (24) comprises at the end from which the sliding pin is inserted into said bore a widening (54) into which the spring (52) is installed with axial bias. The spring or a member cooperating therewith is in engagement with an outer surface of the sliding pin.
