Title: Brake regulator for railway vehicle braking apparatus
IPC: B61H15/00
Filed: 1956-04-09
Abstract: 796,718. Railway brake riggings. COMPAGNIE DES FREINS ET SIGNAUX WESTING- HOUSE. April 9, 1956 [April 8, 1955], No. 10729/56. Class 103 (1). A railway brake rigging mechanism for transmitting thrust between a brake cylinder CF and a rod 1 connected to the brake blocks, has a balance lever 2 linking the cylinder CF and trunnions 3 on the body 4 of the regulator, and a further linkage 5, 6 to a clevis 7 on the end of a tube 8 coupled to the polygonal pull-rod 12 through rollers 16, 16<SP>1</SP> in races 15, 15<SP>1</SP> held apart by a calibrated spring 17. On operation of the brake cylinder to produce a brake application, the opposite end of lever 2 moves the body 4 of the regulator to the left but due to the leverage of links 5 and 6, the clevis 7 is moved more rapidly to the left so that rod 27 causes wedge member 30 to force roller 34 against thrust-ring 35, thus moving distance-piece 39 to the left and releasing rollers 13 from wedged engagement with main races 14. The rod 12 is thus rapidly moved to the left by tube 8 acting through rollers 16, 16<SP>1</SP> until the brake blocks are brought into engagement with the vehicle wheels. Although the engagement of the blocks and wheels arrests the rod 12, the tube 8 continues in its movement to the left until the roller 34 runs off on to the lower face of member 30, after which the spring 38 is able to push back the ring 37 and the main races 14 become effective. During release of the brake the clevis 7 is moved to the right more quickly than the body 4 and the roller 34 is caused to remount the ramp on member 30. This construction thus provides a regulator in which shortening takes place during the brake application stroke and there is thus no danger of the piston abutting the end of the cylinder.
