Abstract
A device prevents dislodgment of disc brake pads of a disc brake including a stationary member provided with rails for movably mounting the brake pads thereon and V-shaped retraction springs having legs urging the brake pads away from each other. The device includes central stoppers and end stoppers for limiting deformations of the retraction springs in axial directions of discs of the disc brake. The central stoppers are provided on an upper surface of the stationary member between the legs of the retraction springs. The end stoppers are provided on the upper surface of the stationary member on outer sides of the legs of the retraction springs. The central stoppers and the end stoppers may be provided on pad springs provided between the brake pads and the rails.
