1. A clearance spring with two spring legs for elastically resiliently mounted clamping between two adjacent friction lining backing plates of partial-lining disk brake linings of a motor-vehicle partially lined disk brake, wherein the clearance spring is a one piece sheet-steel bow spring which has a yoke portion, and spring legs which are bent away on end sides of the yoke portion in a substantially U shape so as to be offset to one another and which form a friction lining retaining clip on each end and wherein each friction lining retaining clip serves for fixing between one of the spring legs and the friction lining in that the friction lining retaining clip clamps in one of the friction lining backing plates; and
wherein there are two clearance springs for each disc brake.
