tion of New Jersey Application October 6, 1948, Serial No. 53,058
12 Cla ms- 1 This invention relates to railwa brake equipment and more particularly to a novel brake hanger assembly and the method of making the same.
The principal object of the invention is to provide a novel connection between a brake hanger and its Supporting bracket which will eliminate all wear between the hanger and the bracket and also satisfactorily control various movements of the hanger and thus the movements of the brake rigging connected to the hanger.
The invention contemplates the provision of a rubber bushing at the connection between the hanger and the support, and stressing the bushs ing in such manner as to reduce its Yield. n the plane of the hanger to thereby obtain greater control over certain movements of the hanger which experience has shown are particularly destructive.
A more specific object is to provide a brake hanger with a pivot portion of special form designed to stress the surrounding rubber bushing in compression in the plane of the hanger upon pivotal movement of the hanger.
A further object of th invention is to simplify the connection between the brake hanger and its support bracket by reducing the number of separate parts to the minimum.
Another object of the invention is to design a novel brake hanger assembly which may be easily assembled and disassembled with respect to an associated brake hanger bracket.
A different object of the invention is to devise an economical and efficient method of making this novel brake hanger assembly.
These and other objects of the invention will become apparent from the specification and the drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a front elevation of the hanger and support assembly;
Figure 2 is a fragmentary transverse sectional view taken substantially on line 2-2 of Figure 1; and
Figure 3 is an isometric projection of the brake hanger assembly and illustrating in phantom lines the hanger rod as formed into a loop hanger to achieve the structure shown in Figure 1.
The specifi embodiment of the invention as disclosed in the drawings contemplates a bracket or support generally designated 2 including an arm a which is preferably formed integral with a car truck frame (not shown).
The outer end of the arm is enlarged laterally with the lateral enlargements forming vertically spaced W bs or l w mem ers 6 and 8, Whose inn r surfaces preferably diverge or flare slightly toward their free ends, as more clearly shown in Figure 2, providing a socket in open at the front and at both sides. The rear or inner end of the socket is closed by an upright wall i2 of arm 4 merging with the inner extremities of the top and bottom jaw members 6 and 8.
A one-piece metallic block or bearing 14, of generally trapezoidal form, is snugl received within the socket ill. The small base It of block !2 is seated as at it against the inner, generally vertical, fiat face of wall I2, and the top and bottom sides of the block, which flare in a direc tion toward the front end of the socket, are afforded a tight complementary fit against the inner surfaces of the top and bottom jaw members B and 8 as at 28 and 22, respectively. The webs 6 and 8 and wall In are cored away at their juncture as at 24, 24 to insure a good fit of the block within the socket.
The large base 25 of the block or insert it is slotted vertically as at 26 for reception of securing means, such as a cotter key 28, extending through verticall aligned openings 39,. 30 in the forward ends of the top and bottom webs 6 and 8.
A substantially horizontal, central, transverse, preferably round, opening 32 is provided through the block, and within the opening is positioned a cylindrical resilient bushing 34, such as rubber, through which extends the upper crossbar 35 of a loop-type hanger, generall designated 38. The bushing is preferably bonded to the crossbar 36 and the block it.
The crossbar 36 is of nonround section, preferably oval or elliptical in shape asbest seen in Figure 2. It will be observed that the major diameter of the oval crossbar is substantially normal to the plane of the hanger and that the minor diameter of the crossbar 35 is substantially coplanar with the plane of the hanger. This feature affords a large seating area for the top and botom of the crossbar 35 against the bushing and also a reduction in unit area loading on the bushing.
The hanger 3'8 pivots on the crossbar 35 thereof for application and release of the brakes, and supports associated brake structure on the lower crossbar ill which is connected to crossbar 36 by the p ced less 42, 4
In the manufacture of the brake hanger as-. sembly, a metal rod e4 (Figure 53), preferably of round section, is cut to length. Thereafter the middle portion of the rod, which is to form the crossbar 35 of the hanger, is forged or otherwise deformed into a nonrcund section, preferabl of oval shape as shown in Figure 2. The cylindrical rubber bushing 34 is then sleeved onto the ovalshaped portion of the rod by inserting the bushing over one end of the rod and then moving the same to a position over the oval-shaped portion.
The block I4 is then sleeved over the rod and moved onto the resilient bushing which is received within the opening 32 in the block and compressed between the rod and block so as to tightly engage the same. Of course, the block may be inserted first on the rod and then the bushing may be interposed between the block and the intermediate portion of the rod.
In assembling the rod and bushing with the block, care is taken to insure that the major diameter or axis of the oval-shaped portion of the rod extends diagonally with respect to the planes of the bases l6 and 25 of the block and that it lies in a plane converging with the plane of the top surface of the block toward the rear of the block so that the formed hanger, when rotated to supporting position, will stress the rubber in a certain predetermined manner as hereinafter described. The portions of the rod at opposite ends of the oval-shaped portion are then bent in a direction toward the bottom portion of the block to form substantially parallel legs substantially coplanar with the minor diameter or axis of the oval-shaped portion. The lower ends of the rod are then bent toward each other to form the crossbar 43 substantially par-- allel to the crossbar 3t. The ends of the rod are connected as by welding at 56 (Figure 3) to each other and any excess weld, if present, is ground ofi.
To assemble the hanger assembly with the bracket, the block i4 is inserted into the socket l6, as shown in Figure 2, seated as heretofore described. Then the key 23 is inserted into the openings 33, 3d and groove 25. The hanger as thus far assembled will assume a position disposing its lower end inwardly of its axis of rotation and thus lie in a plane sloping r wardly forwardly of the bracket. Upon attachment to the associated brake equipment, the hanger is rotated in a counterclockwise direction (Fi ure 2), thus stressing all or" the portions of the bushing in shear and also placing certain pertions of the bushing above and below the cross bar 3.; in compression. These stresses are in addition to the initial compressive stresses imposed on the bushing when assembled with the hanger and the block.
The additional compression of the rubber at the top and bottom of the crossbar 35 reduces the yield of the bushing in the plane of the hanger so that greater resistance is offered to upward and downward movement of the hanger. When the brakes are applied, the hanger rotates further, thus increasing the additional compressive stresses on the rubber above and below crossbar 36 and still greater resistance is offered to upward or downward movement of the hanger, depending on the direction of rotation of the wheel. The torque or shear forces on the bush ing help in releasing the brakes. Release of the brakes does not release all of the torque on the bushing due to the weight of the associated brake equipment so that the rubber above and below the crossbar will still be maintained under the initial and added compression, reducing its yield to vertical and lateral movements of the hanger.
