A RAILWAY VEHICLE BRAKE BLOCK HOLDER

摘要

A railway vehicle brake block holder (11) for a brake unit (1) with brake block hangers (9) pivotally attached to a fixed part (8) of the unit and to the brake block holder. In order primarily to obtain a very compact design the brake block hangers (9) are pivotally attached to the lower part of the brake block holder (11) and to brackets (8) on the unit constituting a lateral guiding for the holder. The two hangers (9) together with two inserts (13) are held together as a strong yoke by a screw (12). Means (14-18, 22, 23) are provided for obtaining a self-adjusting force transmitting connection between the only axially movable brake unit push rod (3) and the brake block holder (11).
