Abstract

1,187,657. Railway track brakes. WESTINGHOUSE AIR BRAKE CO. 13 June, 1967 [24 June, 1966], No. 44635/69. Headings F2E and F2F. A railway vehicle retarder includes a pair of linked levers 2A, 2B mounted on respective pivots, i.e. the fixed mount 7 and the piston 10 of an hydraulic cylinder, each lever having an arm coupled to an upwardly and downwardly movable running rail 1, which rail is positioned between another arm-which carries a braking surface 6-of each lever; such that the other arms, in a first position of one of the pivots are movable to engage a wheel flexing the pair of levers by the application of a load to the rail, the force of the engagement being dependent upon the load. In a second position of the said pivot no such flexing can occur. In the embodiment the movable pivot is operated by hydraulic means responsive via a transducer to pneumatic control means, as described in Specification 1,187,656.
