Abstract

892,671. Axle box mountings; springs. METALASTIK Ltd. Oct. 17, 1960 [Nov. 11, 1959], No. 38330/59. Classes 103(6) and 108(3). A railway vehicle axle box suspension comprises opposed pairs of V-shaped blocks of rubber 14, 15, Figs. 1 and 2, arranged fore and aft of the axle box (not shown), each block 14 or 15 being mounted between a face 20 in a recess in one arm 12 or 13 of the axle box housing 11 and a face 21 on a spring post 1'6 mounted on the vehicle bogie, the arrangement being such that each block supports the vertical load in combined shear and compression, but mainly in shear, resists longitudinal deflections mainly in compression and resists lateral deflections in combined shear and compression. The blocks each comprise metal end plates 18, 19 and metal interleaves 17 and the rubber may be bonded to the metal. The inner end plates 18 abut shoulders 23 on the posts 16 and are retained. by plates 27 and nuts 26 on threaded studs 25 of the posts 16. The outer end plates engage shoulders 22 in the bottoms of the arm recesses which are each provided with a central hub 24 to allow passage ofthe post 16. If desired, the posts may pass through the holes and be provided with larger discs to facilitate retention of the axle when the vehicle is lifted.
