My invention relates to an improvement position extends horizontally in a curved in safety loops for brake beams on railroad hooked projection 7, while the opposite end cars, and it has for its object an easily conof bar-B may be provided with an angular structed and easily mounted device, whereby bent portion8 which tends generally to as- W 5 thefalling of a brake beam from any defect sume 'a substantially vertical position when or cause isavoided, and the constant posin operative engagement.

A further object of my invention bar B, whereby the frame A can beeasily is to provide a safety loop which will permit mounted against the cross beam O, on 'the 10 the ready replacement of a, new bar or beam tIliCli '01 other part Of the truck in any C011: with the least amount of labor and delay. venient manner. By virtue of the construc With these objects in view my invention tion of the locking bar B having the consists of certain novel features of construcend '7 terminating, in the hook formation, tion and arrangement of parts as are more when the locking bar is in operative po- 5 clearly hereinafter described and pointed out jsltlon. the end 8 being larger and heavier in the claims, reference being had to the acha t 611d 7 Will tend to rotate the' companying drawing, in which: rod B on its longitudinal axis by gravity Fig. 1 is a side view of my device in per- S0 tha ithe end 8 tends to assume a vertical spective, as applied to a railroad truck. 9081171011 and the hookvprojection 7a sllbstan- Fi 21 id i f my d i t ally hOIlZOIltil position. Thus the bar 8 Fig. 3 is a rear view of my device. becomes automatically locked in position and Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a detailed W111 not fall 0ut.- In operation, two frame t f y d i members, A, spaced apart, are vertically The same reference characters denote like IH B l, parallel o each other on the car M 25 parts in each of the several figures of the truck frame e locking ars B being drawing. removed a he beams having been placed In carrying out my invention, I provide a 111 'POSltlOIl, the locking'bars are then. inframe .A, constructed preferably of heavy e f dln eppenlngs 5 and 6 and turned into flat bent iron, the same being bent into a e vp tw as WIIiII F igurel, with double fold at Y, andthereby projected into the h ke d 7- extending outwardly nd two parallel folds adjacent to each other Y thefbent 611d 8 X en ing downwardly.
