15 Claims. (01. 188245) This invention relates to railway brakes and more particularly to a novel disk brake arrangement of the type disclosed in U. S. Letters Patent No. 2,363,453.
A primary object of the present invention is to devise an arrangement in which the brake shoe is readily detachable with respect to the brake head and may be discarded after becoming worn out in service.
A more specific object of the invention is to accommodate removal of the brake shoe without disassembling the brake head.
Another object of the invention is to positively restrain the brake head and shoe against rotation and to provide a novel rockable connection between the brake lever and head to aiford adjustment therebetween as the brake shoe wears in service.
A further object of the invention is to devise an arrangement such as above described wherein the parts are interconnected by a novel spring key formed and arranged to accommodate rockable movement of the lever with respect to the brake head.
The foregoin and other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from a consideration of the following specification and the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Figure 1 is a fragmentary top plan view of a disk brake arrangement embodying a preferred form of the invention;
Figure 2 is a side elevational view of the struc ture shown in Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a front edge elevational View of one of the brake levers and its associated brake head and shoe, and
Figure 4; is a fragmentary sectional view taken on the line 44 of Figure 3.
Describing the invention in detail, and referring first to Figure 1, the novel brake arrangement comprises a pair of brake levers 2, pivoted as at 4, on substantially vertical axes within a support or housing 6 containing conventional actuating means (not shown) for applying braking pressure to the levers between which is interposed a conventional disk or rotor 8 connected for rotation on a substantially horizontal axis X-X with a wheel (not shown) of an associated railway car truck (not shown) to which the support 6 is attached in any conventional manner.
Each lever 2, as best seen in Figures 2 and 3, comprises top and bottom jaws In and i2, having openings 14 and I6, respectively, partly defined by inner bearing surfaces 18 and 20, which converge inwardly toward each other, as best seen in Figure 3. Thus the opening 14 tapers upwardly and the opening l6 tapers downwardly, for a purpose hereinafter described.
A U-shaped strap 22 is positioned between the jaws I0 and I2 and is secured to a backing plate 23 of a brake shoe 24, which comprises one or a plurality of segments of any suitable friction material secured to the backing plate 23, in any desired manner as by a suitable cement. It may be noted, as best seen in Figure 2, that the shoe 24 is formed as a segment of an annulus corre sponding to a segment of the rotor 8, a fragmentary portion of which is shown in Figures 1 and 2.
The brake shoe comprises a radial forward edge 26 and a radial rear edge 28, as well as top and bottom edges 30 and 32 converging forwardly toward the forward edge 26. The top and bottom edges of the backing plate 23 are formed with outturned flanges 34 and 36, defining channels 38 and it receiving converging upper and lower edges 42 and 44, respectively, of a brake head generally designated 46. As best seen in Figure 2, the brake head edges 42 and it are approximately of the same contour as the brake head edges 30 and 32 whereby the brake shoe 26 and backing plate 23 may be moved forwardly to disengage the flanges 34 and 36 from the brake head edges 42 and G l during removal of the brake shoe, as hereinafter described.
The brake head $6 is a substantially flat platelike member provided with a slot 48 interrupting its forward edge 56, which is complementary in form to that of the forward brake shoe edge 26, said slot t8 being adapted to accommodate passage of the strap 22 to and from the jaws it and 12, during assembly and disassembly of the brake shoe 24, as hereinafter described.
In the assembled position of the parts illustrated in the drawing, a spring key 52 extends through the jaw openings [4 and I6 and through the strap 22, to connect the jaws with the brake head and shoe. The key, as best seen in Figure 3, comprises spaced legs 54 and 56, which are preferably substantinally flat and are provided intermediate their ends with arcuate offset portions 58 and 59, respectively. The leg 56 is sprung into tight engagement, as at E2 and 64 with the upper and lower surfaces It and 20 of the jaw openings M and it. 'The other leg 5 is arranged with its offset portion 58 sprung against the strap 22 of the shoe 2:1 in complementary arcuate face engagement with said strap, whereby the head 45 is tightly engaged along its flat outer surface with inwardly tapered noses B0 of the jaws l0 and 12, each of said noses being defined by inwardly converging, substantially vertical surfaces accommodating rockable adjustment of the brake lever 2, with respect to the brake head 45, as the brake shoe 24 wears from a new condition, illustrated in the upper half of Figure 1, to the fully worn condition illustrated in the lower half of Figure 1.
The brake head 46 is guided for substantially linear movement toward and away from the rotor B by a guide channel 63 in an inverted U-shaped bracket 65, secured to the rear edge of the brake head 46 and the bracket is reinforced by a gusset plate 68, which is somewhat triangular in form, as illustrated in the top plan view of Figure 1. The channel 63 is approximately parallel to the rotational axis XX of the rotor 8 and is approx- 4 of the brake levers 2, whereby a guide bar or plate 69 of the support 2, received within the imately perpendicular to the vertical pivotal axes channel 83 and generally complementary thereto, is effective to guide the brake head 45 and shoe 24 in linear movement toward and away from the rotor and to positively prevent rotational move ment of the brake head and shoe thereby insuring even wear of the rotor engaging surface of the shoe from the forward to the rear edges thereof.
It may be noted, in this connection, that the radially outer edge of the annular rotor 8 inherently rotates faster than the radially inner edge thereof so that the rear edge 28 of the brake shoe normally tends to wear faster than the forward edge thereof. Thus if the brake head and shoe were permitted to pivot relative: to the brake lever on a substantially vertical axis, this uneven wear would continue until the rear edge of the brake shoe were worn out.
According to the present invention, however, the brake head and shoe are restrained from rotational movement by the above described means, and the brake lever noses Elli, as well as the arcuate bearing portion 58 of the spring key 52, are formed and arranged to accommodate rockable movement of the lever 2 relative to the brake head, as the brake shoe wears in service.
In the drawings, the parts are shown in assembled relationship and may be disassembled by removing the spring key 52, whereupon the brake shoe 24 may be moved forwardly with its strap 22 passing through the brake head slot 48 until the strap 22 has been removed from said slot, whereupon the brake shoe may be moved upwardly or downwardly to effect removal and replacement thereof. If desired, after the brake shoe has been removed, the braking head 46 may be lifted to effect removal and inspection thereof, although it will be understood that under normal service conditions the brake head @5 does not require replacement as does the brake shoe 24 which is subjected to wear due to frictional contact with the rotor 8 during braking.
In assembling the parts, the brake head 46 is lowered to engage its channel 63 with the bar 69, whereupon the strap 22 of the brake shoe 24 is inserted into the slot 48 and the brake shoe is moved rearwardly until the top and bottom edges 42 and 44 of the brake head are tightly confined within the channels 38 and 40 of the brake shoe. Under these conditions, the strap opening is registered with openings [4 and lb of the brake lever jaws to accommodate insertion of the spring key 52 which holds the parts snugly in the assembled position shown in the drawing.
