CHARLES FRANCIS HUNTOON, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR TO CHICAGO RAILWAY EQUIPMENT COMPANY, OF CHICAGO, ILLI- NOIS, A CORPORATION OF ILLINOIS.
BRAKE- Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 27, 1906.
Application filed July 18,1905- Serial No. 270,171.
T 11/ whom it maly concern:
Be it known that I; CHARLES FRANCIS HUNrooN, a citizen of the United States,
residing at Chicago, Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Brake-Beams, of which the following is a full,
clear, and exact description, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,
forming part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a top plan view of my improved brake-beam. Fig. 2 is a sectional view on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2.
This invention relates to a new and useful improvement in brake-beams of that type known as the Kewanee beam, and particularly to the method of fastening the brake-head onto the ends of the beam.
The Kewanee type of beam is illustrated in a patent to Barnes, No. 477,922, dated June 28, 1892, and consists of a compression member A, a strut, (not shown and a tension 2 5 member C, whose ends are bent around the ends of the compression member, as shown. The brake-head D is slipped over the ends of the compression member and the bent ends of the tension member and serves to hold'said o tension member in positlon.
vention consists in a convenient means for securing the head in position. As shown in Fig. 3, the ends of the compression member are provided with grooves, one of which is illustrated in Fig. 3, and the brake-heads D are provided with openings designed,when the brake-heads are in position, to register with the groove (1, a key or cotter-pin E being then slipped through the openings in: the
4.0 brake-heads, and the alining groove, said key or cotter-pin having its end bent over to hold it in place.
My present in-f Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
. 1. The herein-described compression memher for brake-beams, the same being transversely grooved at its ends to receive a locking-key for holding the brakehead in position; substantially as described.
2. The combination with a compression member having a groove in its end, of a tension member bent around the end of said compression member and forming one wall of said groove, a brake-head having openings -tion of a compression member and a tension member bent around the ends of said compression member, one of said parts being formed with a groove, a brake-head having openings designed .to register with said groove, and a member passing through the openings in the brake-head and said alining groove; substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I hereunto ELI'IIX my signature, in the presence of two Witnesses, this 10th day of July, 1905.
CHARLES l RANUlS HUN'IOON. W'itnesses:
C. H. IVILLIAMs, Jr., E. B. LEIGH.
