A PARKING BRAKE ARRANGEMENT FOR A RAIL VEHICLE BOGIE BRAKE

摘要

A parking brake arrangement for a rail vehicle bogie brake comprises at least one hand wheel (7) at the side of the bogie (1) for manually providing a parking brake force, a cardan shaft (8) for transmitting a rotational movement from the hand wheel (7) to a gear box (9) mounted on a brake beam (5A). The brake beam has at least one brake actuator (6). A transmitting means for transmitting the parking brake force to the actuator is an operating shaft (13) having a spindle-and-nut arrangement for transforming the rotational movement from the gear box (9) to a translational movement to a parking brake lever (12) of the brake actuator (6), the lever (12) being connected to the outgoing push rod (6´) of the actuator.
