BRAKE BLOCK OF RAILWAY VEHICLE Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC F16D65/04 B61H1/00 F16D69/02 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to railway transport, namely to brake blocks of railway vehicles. Brake block contains composite friction element, metal frame made of steel strip and solid insert welded to it, wire frame, central boss with orifice for splint and two side bosses. Metal frame of steel strip is less in width than wire frame, it is radiussed over brake block rear surface and pressed in brake block rear surface from both sides of solid insert between side bosses and central boss. Wire framework is essentially two closed up frames around block periphery pressed into composite friction element in the rear part of brake block. Inner parts of two closed up frames overlap each other are folded outside rear part of brake block forming an eye for a splint. Side bosses are made of composite friction material. Solid insert has slot open from the side of its rear surface is enclosed in wire frame and pressed in central boss so that its rear surface is in same plane with central boss rear surface. Enhancement of strength of brake block construction and tool-life gain are reached, as well as spoilage reduction in their manufacturing.

EFFECT: enhancement of strength of brake block construction and tool-life gain are reached, as well as spoilage reduction in their manufacturing.
