Abstract
A hybrid support bracket for supporting a flexible end hose of a railcar air brake hose assembly is described.
The bracket has a free end of a predetermined length and a train line support unit is displaceable along the displaceable free end. The train line support union has a connector which connects an end of the flexible end hose to the brake hose assembly. The hybrid bracket is secured to the yoke of a coupler and is displaceable therewith. The displaceable free end and train line support union permit relative displacement between the hybrid bracket and the hose support to compensate for the slack of the coupler due to wear.
The bracket has a free end of a predetermined length and a train line support unit is displaceable along the displaceable free end. The train line support union has a connector which connects an end of the flexible end hose to the brake hose assembly. The hybrid bracket is secured to the yoke of a coupler and is displaceable therewith. The displaceable free end and train line support union permit relative displacement between the hybrid bracket and the hose support to compensate for the slack of the coupler due to wear.
Claims (8)
1. A hybrid bracket for supporting a flexible end hose of a railcar air brake hose assembly, said flexible end hose being removably connected at one end to another end hose of an adjacent coupled railcar, said bracket having coupling means at an attaching end thereof for securement to a railcar coupler whereby to be displaced therewith, said bracket having a free end provided with a displaceable hose support permitting relative displacement between said bracket and said hose support to compensate for wear allowance of said coupler, said displaceable hose support being adapted to support a hose connector to interconnect another end of said flexible end hose to said hose assembly.
2. A hybrid bracket as claimed in claim 1, wherein said displaceable hose support comprises a trolley rod of predetermined length and a swivel hose support displaceable along said trolley rod, said swivel hose support having a hose connector to interconnect said other end of said flexible end hose to said hose assembly.
3. A hybrid bracket as claimed in claim 2, wherein said railcar coupler has a cushion unit, said hybrid bracket being immovably secured to a yoke of said cushion unit, said yoke being axially displaceable, said coupler having a beam secured to said yoke by connector means, said coupler further being a coupler connecting face for interconnection with a further coupler of an adjacent railcar, said connector means and connector face being subjected to wear and exhibiting slack which is compensated by said displaceable hose support to prevent unwanted tensile or compressive forces on said flexible end hose due to said slack.
4. A hybrid bracket as claimed in claim 3, wherein said bracket has an elongated support arm, said attaching end having transverse connecting flanges for support connection to said yoke by a bolt.
5. A hybrid bracket as claimed in claim 4, wherein said trolley rod is supported adjacent a free end portion of said elongated support arm, said rod being a straight bolt of circular cross-section secured between two support flanges.
6. A hybrid bracket as claimed in claim 5, wherein said swivel hose support has a sliding ring support through which said straight bolt extends, said sliding ring being displaceable between said two support flanges, said hose connector being suspended by said sliding ring.
7. A hybrid bracket as claimed in claim 6, wherein said predetermined length is calculated by the sum of a wear allowance displacement for said slack and outboard and inboard clearances.
8. A hybrid bracket as claimed in claim 1, wherein said flexible end hose of adjacent interconnected railcars are joined together at said one end by gladhand connectors.
