Abstract

835,175. Railway buffing and draw gear. AMERICAN STEEL FOUNDRIES. Feb. 24, 1958, No. 5890/58. Class 103(5) Railway buffing and draw gear of the friction and wedge type comprises a wedge block 50 presing shoes 34 against the housing surface 18 and spring pressed caps 26, the wedges and shoes having cooperating surfaces 56, 44 formed and arranged so that in the closed or buffed condition the areas of contact are approximately on the vertical centre line through the shoes and wedges, whilst in the open condition the areas of contact are offset inwardly by a substantial distance. The surfaces 44 of the shoes, Fig. 8, are radiused transversely about centres such as PL which are inwardly offset from the centre line E-E of the shoe and positioned toward the axis of the draft gear, and the surfaces 44 are also crowned longitudinally. The wedge surfaces 56 are similarly curved and offset inwardly so that when the gear is buffed the shoes roll on the surfaces 18 radiused about points C, Fig. 3, to displace the areas of contact outwardly and distribute the load on the housing. The caps 26 and spring 24 act to roll the shoes back on the surfaces 18 when the buffing load is removed.
