DISC BRAKE AND PAD ASSEMBLY

The invention relates to a disc brake (1) for a vehicle, in particular for a utility vehicle, having a brake disc (2) with a brake disc rotational axis; at least one application-side brake pad and a rear-side brake pad, each of which comprises a backing plate (3a); and a brake carrier (5) which receives the at least two brake pads in a respective pad shaft (10) between an inlet-side and an outlet-side brake carrier horn (11, 11') and a bridge portion (5a). One of the at least two brake pads is supported in the corresponding pad shaft (10) by at least one of the brake carrier horns (11, 11') in a form-fitting manner in the radial direction relative to the brake disc rotational axis (2a) and is spring-loaded with a biasing force (FV) which presses the one of the at least two brake pads away from the bridge portion (5a) of the brake carrier (5) radially relative to the brake disc rotational axis (2a) against the form-fitting support of the at least one brake carrier horn (11, 11'). The disc brake also has a brake caliper which covers the brake disc (2). A respective form-fitting support of at least the application-side brake pad is provided in the pad shaft (10) on the inlet-side brake carrier horn (11) and on the outlet-side brake carrier horn (11'), and the form-fitting support together with noses (20, 20') with undercuts (27, 27'), projections (30, 30') of the pad carrier plate (3a) of the application-side brake pad, and the biasing force (FV) forms an oblique wear compensation device. The invention also relates to a corresponding brake pad set (100).
