United States Patent SHOELESS SNUBBED TRUCK Carl Tack, Ehnhurst, Ill., assignor to American Steel Foundries, Chicago, 111., a corporation of New Jersey Filed Jan. 26, 1959, Ser. No. 789,067
15 Claims. (Cl. 105-197) This invention relates to railway car trucks, and more particularly to those trucks which have friction devices for damping vertical oscillations of the load supporting springs.
The invention comprehends a snubbed truck wherein the supporting and supported members are urged into direct frictional engagement with each other by a relatively simple spring assembly compressibly interposed therebetween.
As those familiar with the railway truck art well 'know, all of the snubbed trucks in current use require a snubbed truck without conventional snubbing devices i and wherein the bolster and side frame are urged into direct frictional engagement with each other by a simple spring assembly interposed therebetween.
A more specific object of the invention is the provision of a snubbed truck wherein a spring assembly, compressibly interposed between one side frame column and a. vertical internal wall of the bolster, is operable to exert a continuous force against the bolsterand thereby urge an outside wall of the bolster into direct frictional engagement with the other side frame column.
These and other objects of the invention will be apparent from an examination of the following description and drawings, wherein: a
Figure .1 is a fragmentary top plan view of a part of a railway car truck embodying features of the invention, with portions of the structure shown in horizontal section, and
Figure 2 is an enlarged vertical section taken on line 2-2 of Figure -1. a I It will be understood that certain elements have been intentionally eliminated from certain views where they are better illustrated in other views.
Referring now to the drawings for a better understanding of the invention, it will be seen that the invention is applied to a railway car truck having a pair of side frames 10, only one of which is shown, and each of which comprises tension and compression members, not shown, interconnected by a pair of generally vertically extending parallel longitudinally spaced column members 12 and 14 which define therebetween a bolster receiving opening 16.
As best seen in Figure 1, the left hand column 12 includes a. vertical Wall 18 which may be provided with a wear plate 20 formed of a hard wear resistant. steel and ice rigidly secured to the column in any manner as by welds, not shown. The wear plate presents a vertical friction surface 22 facing the bolster opening and extending transversely of the truck. Right hand column 14 includes a vertical wall '24 which has a hole 26 extending therethrough in substantial alignment with wear plate 20 of left hand column 12.
Extending between the side frames is a bolster, indicated generally at 30, having a pair of box like end sections 32, only one of which is shown, resiliently supported by a plurality of load springs, not shown, in the usual manner from the respective side frames. Each bolster end section preferably comprises parallel generally flat top and bottom walls 34 and 36, respectively, which are interconnected by vertical left and right side walls 38 and 40, respectively.
The right hand bolster side wall 40 may be provided with an opening 48 extending therethrough and located in substantial alignment with hole 26 of the right hand side frame column.
The bolster top and bottom walls 34 and 36 may be interconnected, as best seen in Figure 2, by a Vertical internal abutment wall 50 located preferably at or near the longitudinal center line of the bolster and extending transversely of the truck and parallel to the bolster side walls. The internal wall may be rigidly secured to the topand bottom bolster walls in any desired manner as for instance by welds 52. As best seen in Figure 2, the bolster internal wall may be provided on its right hand side with a recess or cavity 54, the purpose of which is hereinafter explained.
Additionally, the bolster may be provided with conventional outwardly extending gibs 56 which are disposed adjacent opposite sides of the side frame columns to limit longitudinal movement of the bolster relative to the side frames.
In order to effect the snubbing action between the bolster and side frame by maintaining the friction surfaces of the bolster and side frame wear plates in direct snug frictional engagement with each other, there is provided a spring assembly indicated generally at 60. The spring assembly comprises a spring bolt or guide 62 having an integral head 64 which presents a rounded outer surface 66 adapted to .be received within cavity 54 presented by the bolster internal wall.
Sleeved over the body of bolt 62 are a pair of inner and outer spring caps 68 and 70, respectively, between which is compressibly interposed a coil compression spring 72, the opposite ends of which are sleeved over bosses 74 and 76 presented by opposed faces of the caps 68 and 70, respectively. The inner or left hand spring cap 68 is preferably secured rigidly to bolt head 64 by means of welds 78, while the outer or right hand cap 70 is loosely sleeved over the bolt and presents an outwardly extending cylindrical shoulder 80 adapted to be received within hole 26 presented by the right hand side -frame column. As best seen in Figure 2, outer spring cap 70 may include a separate generally U-shaped shim or spacer '82 which is supported by right hand spring cap shoulder 80 and which is interposed between the outer face of the spring cap 70 and the inner face of the right hand side frame column wall 24.
Also, partially sleeved over the outer spring cap shoulder 80 is a generally cylindrical sleeve or spacer .84 which is interposed between the right hand or outer The operation of the device will be evident from an examination of the drawings where it can be seen that as the action of spring 72 urges the spring caps away from each other, it urges the bolster to the left or away from right hand side frame column 14 so that friction surface 46 presented on the bolster wear plate is forced into direct tight frictional engagement with the friction surface 22 presented by the left hand side frame column. The spherical surface 66 of spring bolt head 64 permits the bolt and spring 72 .to angle relative to the bolster "internal wall to accommodate limited angling in all directions between the bolster and the side frame. In order to provide additional clearance for the spring to accommodate such angling, internal opposed faces of top and bottom walls 34 and 36, respectively, of the bolster may be cut away as indicated at 96 and 98.
To assemble the device, after the bolster has been placed in position between' the side frames in the usual manner, the spring assembly is assembled and the spring .pre-compressed by threading nut 88 onto bolt 62 with the outer surface of the nut disposed inwardly of the innermost cotter pin hole 92. Then cotter 90 is iriserted through hole 92 and the entire spring assembly is inserted into the bolster from the outer end thereof with the righthand or outer end of the spring assembly being inserted through opening 48 in bolster wall 40 and through hole 26 'in right hand side frame column 14. After this is done, the cotter is removed from hole 92 and inserted into hole 94. .Nut 88 .is then backed 01f to permit spring 72 to expand into operable position Where it can urge the bolster into engagement with left hand side frame column 12.
This arrangement also lends itself readily to the .conversion of older non-snubbed trucks. All that .is required to convert a non-snubbed truck to a snubbed truck with this arrangement is to attach the wear plates to left .side wall '38 of the bolster and left hand side frame column wall 18, weld internal vertical wall 50in place between the upper and lower walls of the bolster, cut hole 26 in right hand side frame column wall 24, cut opening 48 in right hand side Wall 40 of the bolster, if desired, burn or grind away the upper and lower bolster walls in the area adjacent opening 48 in the right hand sidewall of the bolster, and then insert the .spring assembly.
A modified form of the invention may be provided 'by eliminating the internal wall and using a-larger spring assembly .(not illustrated) which is directly engageable with the inside face of left hand bolster side wall 38'.
Thus, it will be understood that by this novel snubbing arrangement, continuous direct frictional contact between the bolster and side frame can be provided .to damp the vertical oscillation of the bolster supporting :load springs without the need of a plurality of friction castings such as friction shoes and/or wedge shoes or Wedge blocks as are required by conventional snubbing -arrangements.
