DISC BRAKE PAD, SPRING FOR DISC BRAKE CALIPER AND DISK BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY

The invention relates to a brake pad (12,13) of a disc brake (2) comprising a support plate (15) having a thrust surface (18) to receive the thrust of at least one piston, and a friction surface (19) to which a friction portion (16) is associated, associated to said support plate (15) to rest on a friction surface (4,5) of said brake disc (2), said pad comprising a support plate edge (17) which delimits said thrust surface (18) and friction surface (19), said thrust plate edge (17) comprising an upper edge portion (28), substantially facing or directed outwards in the outward sense (RE) of said radial direction (R-R), said thrust plate edge (17) comprising an upper edge portion (20), substantially facing or directed in the inward sense (RI) of said radial direction (R-R), said thrust plate edge (17) comprising two lateral edge portions (21, 22) opposite each other and substantially facing or directed in the tangential direction (T-T), said lateral edge portions (21, 22) each comprising a lower lateral edge sub-portion (30), next to the lower edge portion (20), which extends by an extension less than or equal to a third of the longitudinal extension of said lateral edge portion (21, 22), wherein said upper edge portion (18) of said thrust plate edge (17) comprises at least one tab (23) forming a seat (24), open or closed, and defining a spring surface (25) facing or directed substantially in an inward direction (RI) in said radial direction (R-R), to receive and support a thrust portion (26) of a spring device (27) adapted to stress the brake pad with at least one direct thrust component in the outward direction (RE) of said radial direction (R-R), and wherein all along said upper edge portion (28) there is no upper support portion of the caliper body (8), superiorly avoiding the support of the plate or of the pad by the caliper body (8) to exert a reaction to the thrust component having an outward sense (RE) of said radial direction (R-R) to the stress action of the spring device (27); and wherein a portion of the support plate (15) which is delimited by said lower lateral edge sub-portion (30), and/or by said lower edge portion (20), comprises a lower portion resting on the support plate (15) of the caliper body, defining a caliper support surface resting on the support plate of the caliper body to exert a reaction to the thrust component of the spring device (27); and wherein said caliper support surface (32) substantially faces, or has a sense, in the o
