Abstract
Abstract A railway vehicle brake block holder (11) for a brake unit (1)wian brake block hangers (9) pivotally attached to a fixed part (8) of the unit and to the brake block holder. A force transmitting arrangement between the only axially movable brake unit push rod (3) and the brake block holder includes a cradle (14) in the brake block holder and a corresponding force transmitting member (15) therein acted on by the push rod. In order to ensure that the force transmitting member (15) can only move under relatively high forces at least one, preferably Ω-shaped, prestressed spring (16) in a suitable recess (17) in said member biases the latter against the cradle (14).

A rail vehicle brake block holder, preferably for a brake unit (1), with means for its suspension, including brake block hangers (9) pivotally attached to a fixed part, preferably a bracket (8), of the brake unit and to the brake block holder (11), and with an arrangement for connection to a brake force applying push rod (3), this arrangement beeing substantially at or near the center of the brake block holder and including a curved cradle (15) having a front surface with a shape corresponding to the cradle and a flat back surface for force receiving cooperation with a push plate (5) at the end of the push rod, characterized by at least one, preferably Ω-shaped, prestressed spring (16) in a suitable recess (17) in the force transmitting member (15) for biasing said member against the cradle (14).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
80 words
A brake block holder according to claim 1, in which the connection arrangement between the push rod (3) and the brake block holder (11) includes holding means in the form of a bundle of leaf springs (23) extending through an axial slot (4) in the push rod (3) and abutting the push plate (5) with its central part, characterized in that an Ω-shaped spring (16) is arranged on either side of the leaf spring bundle (23) and in parallel therewith.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
50 words
A brake block holder according to claim 2, characterized in that the legs of the Ω-shaped springs (16) and the ends of the leaf spring bundle (23) are supported by a cover (20) attached to the brake block holder (11) and having a central opening for the push rod (3).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
A brake block holder according to claim 3, characterized in that the cover (20) is provided with two diametrically opposed heads (22) for guiding the leaf spring bundle (23).
