THOMAS L. BURTON, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, ASSIGNOR TO AMERICAN BRAKE COMPANY, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, A CORPORATION OF MISSOURI.
METAL BRAKE-BEAM.
Specification of Letters Patent. Patented May 11, 1920.
Application filed April 1, 1915. Serial No. 18,521.
T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, THoMAs L. BURTON, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Metal Brake-Beams, of which improvement the following is a specification.
This invention relates to brake beams for railway vehicles, and has for its object to provide a single integral beam comprising a body portion of uniform section, such as an I, T, channel, angle, or other commercial shape having a web and a flange, and trunnions formed at the ends thereof. These beams may be formed in any suitable manner, such as by casting, forging, or otherwise, but a preferred way is to roll the sec tions out in continuous lengths with trunnions connected between the body portions.
In the accompanying drawing: Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 are, respectively, a plan, transverse section, end elevation and side elevation of one form of beam embodying my improvement, and in which the body or tion is an I section; Figs. 5, 6, 7 and 8, are similar views showing a beam formed of a T section; Figs. 9, 10, 11 and 12, similar views showing a beam formed of a channel section; and Figs. 13, 14, 15 and 16, similar views showing a beam formed of an angle section.
In all of these constructions it will be observed that the body portion of the beam is formed of a uniform section having a horizontal web member, 1, and one or more flanges, 2, at one or both sides of the web, while the cylindrical trunnions, 3, are formed integral therewith at the opposite ends of the beam. This comprises a very simple, strong and durable construction of brake beam, and one easily handled, light, and more economical than standard forms heretofore used.
aving now described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A brake beam composed of a standard commercial shape, the ends of which are forged to provide a cylindrical trunnion at each end, substantially as described.
2. A device of the class described, composed of an I-beam, each end of the beam being forged to provide a cylindrical trunnion adapted to support braking means, substantially as described.
THOMAS L. BURTON.
