1. Brake pad spring for at least one brake pad,
wherein the brake pad spring comprises, for each of the at least one brake pad, two opposing walls, configured for receiving a portion of a backplate of the respective brake pad therebetween, and for guiding the respective brake pad between a non-braking position in which the respective brake pad is located at a first section of the opposing walls, and a braking position in which the brake pad is located at a second section of the opposing walls,
wherein at least a portion of at least one of the two opposing walls is elastically movable, and
wherein the two opposing walls each have an angled portion that protrudes toward each other, and
the angled portion has an incline so that a thickness increases from the first section to the second section,
in order to create a return spring effect for the respective brake pad, from the braking position towards the non-braking position,
wherein the angles of the angled portions formed on the two opposing walls are different.
