RAIL VEHICLE BRAKE SHOE Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC F16D65/04 B61H7/04 F16D69/02 

FIELD: railway transport; brake shoes.

SUBSTANCE: proposed brake shoe contains metal skeleton, polymeric composite friction member, one or several abrasive friction inserts and support layer placed between polymeric composite friction member and metal skeleton. Support layer is placed also between polymeric composite friction member and abrasive friction insert (inserts), or between polymeric composite friction member and part of surface of abrasive friction insert (inserts). Invention is aimed at improving operating characteristics of shoe owing to increased strength of connection of insert (inserts) and polymeric composite friction member by additional locking and reduced possibility of burning out of polymeric composite friction member in zone of insert (inserts) owing to provision of heat insulation of member relative to insert.

EFFECT: increased service life of shoe.
