Caliper Disc Brake of a Vehicle, in Particular of a Commercial Vehicle, and Brake Caliper of Such a Brake

A caliper disc brake of a vehicle, in particular of a commercial vehicle, with a brake disc having an axis of rotation, a brake caliper (20), a brake anchor plate (22), a force transmission element, such as, for example, a lining support (26) and/or a pressure plate, which is guided and supported in a shall of the brake caliper or of the brake anchor plate, a holding-down spring (32) for holding down the force transmission element, and a holding-down device (36) which is held and supported on the caliper by a holding device, pretensions the holding-down spring radially against the force transmission device and pretensions the holding-down spring tangentially in the direction of rotation against the force transmission device during forwards travel, wherein the holding device has a centre line lying parallel to the axis of rotation. The tangential pre-tensioning is at least partially attributed to the fact that the dimension of the holding-down device, as measured in the tangential direction from the centre line, are larger at least in sections on the disc exit side than on the disc entry side.
