A friction pad for braking cooperates with a support member, which receives a brake torque produced in the friction pad, in forming a recess and projection fitting portion. A pad clip is interposed between the friction pad and the support member to thereby be able to reduce the sliding resistance of the friction pad. An anchor piece, which extends downwardly from a U-shaped portion of the pad clip, is inclined and disposed in such a manner that a pad contact portion, which serves as a contact portion between the anchor piece and friction pad is situated more outwardly in the rotor diameter direction than a support contact portion serving as a contact portion between the anchor piece and the support member. Due to such arrangement of the anchor piece, the energizing actions of the anchor piece and rotor diameter direction pressing portion with the support member contact portion as the fulcrum thereof can restrict the movement of the friction pad to thereby prevent generation of a rattling noise.

[ What is claimed is:] [3.] A pad clip in a disc brake system for insertion between a friction pad and a support member for supporting a braking force from the friction pad, comprising:a U-shaped portion formed to engage a top surface and a bottom surface of a projecting portion of the support member having one end piece of the U-shaped portion interposed between a top surface of a projecting portion of the friction pad and the bottom surface of the projecting portion of the support member;a peripheral direction pressing portion connected at an obtuse angle to the interposed end piece of the U-shaped portion extending outwardly away from the friction pad and toward the support member, such that a junction between the peripheral direction pressing portion and the U-shaped portion conforms to a comer portion of the projecting portion of the friction pad; anda rotor diameter direction pressing portion connected at the end of the peripheral direction pressing portion and contacting a bottom surface of the projecting portion of the friction pad.
