RAILROAD VEHICLE BRAKING BLOCK Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC B61H7/02 F16D65/04 B61H1/00 F16D69/02 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: braking block comprises metal carcass, composite material friction element and two solid inserts arranged symmetrically relative to the block horizontal axis and overlapping its friction part over the width. The said metal carcass represents a wire carcass representing two closed frames press-fitted into the block rear part friction material and perforated tin press-fitted into the block rear part composite friction material. Inner parts of the said frames are partially interoverlapped and bent outwards from the block rear part to form an ear designed to pass the cotter. Rear nonoperating part of every cotter has consoles arranged on each side of the aforesaid inserts all along their length. One of the said consoles is bent towards the block rear surface and arranged in the central boss, the other one being located between the central and auxiliary bosses. Each of the inserts is fitted into one of the wire carcass frames and jammed therein. The inserts, along with the carcass, are pressed in the composite friction material so that the insert console rear surfaces are located in one plate with the perforated tin of the block rear side.

EFFECT: higher durability and safety, longer service life, sable braking capacity and wheel surface recovery in braking.
