Description
Dec. 17, 1929, J 'A BAKER 1',739,776
' RAILWAY BRAKE BRACKET F iled Jan. 20. 1928 INVENTOR- 50% Patented Dec. 17, 1929 UNITED STATES J'OHNAUSTIN BAKER, OF SOUTH SHIELDS, ENGLAND RAILWAY BRAKE BRACKET Application filed. January 20, 1928, Serial No. 248,141, and in Great Britain May 19, 1927.
This invention relates to railway axle box brackets for brake bands and has as one of its objects to provide a bracket shaped and adapted to fit the sides of an axle box and having a portion to engage the circular part of the box at its rear.
A further feature is in the provision of a bracket so constructed that its outer ends are adapted to support a conventional type of 1nlo ternal expanding or external contracting band of a drum brake, similar to those employed on mechanically propelled vehicles, cranes and the like.
Another purpose is to produce a simple bracket for such purposes, of integral construction and which is readily applied to existing structures without change therein.
These objects are accomplished by the novel and practical construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and shown in the accompanying drawing, form ing a material part of this disclosure, and in which Figure 1 is a front elevational view of an embodiment of the invention.
Figure 2 is an end view thereof illustrating its application.
Figure 3 is a plan View of the same.
Figure 4 is a transverse sectional view taken on line H of Figure 2.
The main body or frame of the bracket is composed of two opposite like elements 10, generally triangular in profile, their base portions being connected by an integral bar 11 at their upper ends, and presenting an intervening space 13 within the confines of downwardly extending, parallel legs 12 integral with the elements 10.
These legs, which are adapted to straddle an axle box sides, are reduced and screw threaded at their ends constituting studs 14- to receive the hubbed ends of a yoke 15 held, when assembled on an axle box, by clamp nuts 16 fitted to the studs, thus confining the box tightly within the space 13.
Extending integrally rearward from the body elements 10 and bar 11 is an arcuate member 17 suited to seat on the correspondingly shaped member of an axle box, as clearly indicated in Figure 2.
closed in the preferred form of its embodiment, but it is not desired to restrict the details to the exact instruction shown, it being obvious that changes, not involving the exercise of invention, may be made without conflicting with the scope of the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A bracket attached to an axle box of a railway vehicle for supporting the band of a band brake, leg extensions on said bracket fitting the sides of an axle box, a yoke connecting said extension, and means for securing said yoke thereto.
2. A bracket attached to an axle box of a railway vehicle for supporting the band of a band brake, the top of the bracket so formed as to seat on the top of the axle box, integral legs extending from said bracket to embrace the box, screw studs on the ends of said legs, and a yoke held by said studs to engage the bottom of said box.
3. A bracket attached to an axle box of a railway vehicle for supporting the band of a hand brake, said bracket having a semi-circular integral portion fitting the circular dust collar cover of an axle box.
4. A bracket attached to an axle box of a railway vehicle for supporting the band of a band brake, said bracket having leg extensions, a yoke fitting said extensions and means for clamping the yoke thereto.
5. A bracket attached to an axle box of a railway vehicle for supporting the band of a band brake, means for securing the bracket to an axle box to seat on top of a portion thereof, said bracket having rearward end extensions, journals on said extension adapted to engage the band of a drum brake and a yoke to rigidly engage said bracket to the box.
In testimony whereof I have signed my
