My invention has for its principal object, to provide a'constructio'n which will permit the workmanto turn therack bar a' quarter turn, which rotation will retract the dogs by compressing the two springs under the dogs,
and the rack bar can be freely drawn back the required distance. I also provide a construe tion which will make it impossible to reconnect the top rod to the 'truck'lever until the rack bar is returned to its normal position, in which the dogs will be in engagement with the teeth of therack bar. j v
A further object is, to construct the device so that the rack will be undergcompressiom In the old type it was under tension, and as a consequence, when. the brakes were applied any internal weakness in the rack, such as o flaws, etc., would cause the rack to break or pull in two, and thus bring about a failure of the brakes.

' inder 1 is connected to links 2, which in turn are connected to the [cylinder levers 3 and 4.
- As the construction is duplicated for each end of'th'e car, I shall confine my description to the device in connection with only one end of the car. j i
The vertical truck lever 5 is connected to the brake jaw- 6 on the end of the top rod 7, by means of the brake pin 8'. The other end of the top rod 7 is provided with threads 9, which fit internal threads cut in the rack cast-- ing'lO. This rack casting 10, as clearly seen in the cross-section Fig. 9, is round, and has a plurality of teeth 11 formed on 'a portion of itsperiphery. An opening 12 extends longitudinally of the rack casting 10. The top rod 7 extends through this opening 12, and is screwed into threads in the rack casting 10.

-A rib 15, which serves as a detent, is cast or formed on the exterior surface of the rack 10! Ill) casting 10, and extends for the full length which I mount adpg 19, one end'20 of which engages teeth 11 ofthe. rack 10. vA coil spring 21 serves to hold the dog 19 normally project.
ed from the cylindrical recess'18 in which-it is mounted, and in engagement with the rack.
teeth 11.
A chamber 22 is formed in the portion 17 in which I mount a coil' spring 23, which extends into an extension 24, formed on whatI term a cross head 25. This cross head 25 also has a vertical cylindrical recess 26, in which I mount a dog 27, which corresponds in all respects to the dog 19, a coilspring 28 serving to hold it in engagement with the teeth llot' the rack casting 10.. To prevent the rack casting 10 sliding out of the housing 16, I form a stop or collar 36 on the end of the rack casting 10, which may be cast integral therewith, or secured in position by a set screw, or by any other convenient form for fastening a stop collar. The housing 16 has an upper portion 29, into which the end of the cylinder lever 3 extends, and which is pivotally secured to the housing 16 by meansof a special brake pin 30, which is formed without a head, thus bring-' in the cylinder lever-3 closer to the top rod 7 tian would otherwise be possible. The-pin 30 is prevented from working out, by means of a cotter pin 31, mounted in the wall of the housing 16.
A permanent stop 32 is suitably securedto the car, for the cross head 25 to abut in the manner hereinafter set forth. The housing 16 has-as an arcuate slot 33 formed in one of its side walls, in which is located. the rib 15, which abuts the shoulders 3%1and 35 at the ends of said slot 33. A similar slot is formed in the wall of the cross head 25.
The. operation of the device is as follows:, The air being admitted'into the cylinder 1,- its piston shifts the links 2 and in turn the cylinder lever 3. This moves the top red 7, and consequently the vertical truck live lever 5, and the brakes are applied. My. device is set so that with a movement of the air piston ofnot less than seven nor more than nine inches, as is required, the cross head 25 will abut the permanent stop 32. If the brake shoes wear, the top rod 7 will attempt to carry the housing 16 farther; this being-prevented by the stop 32, the spring 20 will be compressed, and the dog 27 will be advanced a distance suflicient to take up the slack. As the brakes are released, the spring 20 will expand and advance the housing 16, until the dog 19 engages the correct tooth 11 on the rack 10. The collar 36, abutting the housing 16, prevents the rack casting 10, from sliding out of the housing 16. In this manner, the device automatically takes up the slack, maintaining at. all times the same amount of air piston travel, thus holding the cylinder levers 3 and 4 at approximate right angles to the center line of the air cylinder 1, which is the ideal operating condition.
' When the brake shoes are worn out, and it becomes necessary to apply new shoes, the car repairer first'pulls the pin 8-, which connects.
" meet the lever 5since it has been automatically shortened by my device taking up the slack produced by the wearingof the shoes. He then turns the top rod 7 by hand, which carries with it the rack 10, being secured thereto by the threads 9 and the nut 13. This rotation compresses the dogs 19 and 27, and
inside the cross head 25 and the dogs 19 and 27 could not mesh with the teeth 11 of the rack 10; this could not be seen or noted until attention was drawn thereto by failure of the device to function. The connection between rod 7 and lever 5 cannot be made, because the workman has rotated the .rod 7 a quarter of a revolution and the jaws 6 no longer register with the lever 5, so he must turn the rod 7 back in order to insert the pin 8. By so doing, the rack 10 is automatically reset so that the dogs 19 and 27 will again engage the teeth 11 of the rack 10, and the device is again ready for operation.
The rib or detent 15 and the shoulders 34; and 35 are provided, so the workman can not continue to rotate the top rod 7 until the 't-eethll of rack 10 are on top and the dogs 18 and 2.7 underneath, as the device would then .be inoperative. But with the rib 1'5 and shoulders 34 and 35 constructed as described, he must turn the rod '7 back to the position in which it was when he disconnected it, which resets the rack 10 in the proper operative position. In fact, unless he does this, he can not possibly connect the rod 7 to the lever 5; and; the provision of the collar 36 permits necessary adjustment of the device without risk of pulling the rack 10 entirely out of the housing 16. By locating the cylinder lever 3 at the top of the housing 16, it is apparent I. shorten the over-all length of the device and gain considerable more take-up, without any increase of the overhang of the rack 10.
