Combined reservoir and pipe hanger for railroad brakes

摘要

A combined reservoir tank and pipe bracket for use in a railroad car air brake system includes a tank having a partition therein which divides the tank into emergency and service portions. An emergency valve mounting saddle and emergency valve are attached to the exterior of the tank and connected to the emergency portion of the reservoir. A service valve mounting saddle and service valve are attached to the exterior of the tank and there is a connection therefrom with the service portion of the tank. The mounting saddles are spaced on opposite sides of the tank and there is a tube extending within the tank and connecting the saddles which functions as a pipe bracket quick action chamber. There are conduits connecting the saddles in parallel arrangement with the quick action chamber tube for brake cylinder air, brake pipe air and the emergency reservoir.
