Zusammenfassung:A disc brake for a utility vehicle includes brake caliper which straddles a brake disc, two brake pads each arranged in a pad channel of a vehicle-side brake carrier. The brake pads are retained in the disk brake under prestress by a pad retaining spring and a pad retaining clip on the brake caliper which spans a opening of the brake caliper. The disc brake further includes a restoring device configured to bias the brake pads away from one another after having been displaced during brake actuation. The restoring device includes sprung spreader elements that engage the opposite brake pads. The sprung spreader elements preferably include V-shaped spreader elements which are supported in the connection region of their respective spring arms on the pad retaining clip, and retained via their ends on the opposing brake pads.
