PAD SPRING OF DISC BRAKE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME

Disclosed are a pad spring of a disc brake, which guides the sliding motion of pad plates and reduces vibration transmitted from the pad plates to a carrier concurrently, and continuously maintains these functions for a long time, and a method for manufacturing the same. In a pad spring of a disc brake, in which a pair of pad plates sliding towards a disc is accommodated in a carrier fixed to a vehicle frame such that friction pads are respectively attached to the facing inner surfaces of the pad plates so as to press both surfaces of the disc rotated together with the rotation of a wheel and thus fix the disc, and pad springs for guiding the sliding motion of the pad plates and preventing vibration applied to the pad plates from being transmitted to the carrier are interposed among the pad plates and the carrier, one surface of the pad spring contacting the pad plates is coated with a low frictional material and the other surface of the pad spring contacting the carrier is coated with an elastic material.
