A PARKING BRAKE ARRANGEMENT FOR A RAIL VEHICLE BRAKE UNIT

摘要

A rail vehicle brake unit having a tubular housing and a slack adjuster movable therein in a brake force applying direction in response to a braking force applied to a push rod has a simple parking brake attachment. Thus, a sleeve abutting the slack adjuster presents a movable shoulder, which in turn is coupled with a pivoted parking brake lever for movement thereby to actuate the brakes.
