- BY JOSEPH H. KELLER beam, V Manufacturers and users'of brake beams are: "giving 'i increased attention to thefproblem of Busse and Joseph Hr-Keller Chicago: .7 f 1-;
\ Ill'., assignors to Chicago 'Railway Equipment 1 Company Chjcago, Ill.,=a corporation of 11- Application lTheinventionrelatesto railway brake beams and"more particularly td thefanchorage' of the ends of the tension of a tru'ss'type brake brealgage of the end portions' 'of such tension members due to the "strains "resulting from the {applicatidnfand release of the brakes? which are accentuatedbylthe reduction of the cross sectional -area' of the end porti'on ofthe tensiQn member by the customarygthreading of the same 'tojt'ake a-niit seated 'bn'fthe brakejhead whereby 'the tension omthe rod is controlled andthe beam parts are held in assembled relation.
It has been proposed to upset the endportions of the tension rods toincreasej their diameter andthus ofi'setreduction of area otherwise eifectedby the threading, but this is'expensive construction and only increases the life of rod a small extent: The cutting in of threads allows fatigue to concentrate at the base of the thread i at the inner face of the point is common.
' Various other arrangements in cross sectional area of the tension member have been based upon riveting or otherwise fixe nut, and fr'actu're at this edly securing the' ends of the tension member to the ends of the compression member, but'these, constructions are subject'to the condition that there is no provision" for adjusting the connection to control the cambe'r of' the compression member and the spacing of the brake heads from the lever fulcrum in the beam" strut, as is effected readily by a'nut threaded on the end of the tension member and seated against the brake head.
The main object of the present invention is ;to "adjustably secure the ends of 'thetens'ion meniber .of the beam to .the associated beam members withoutredu'ction' in the'cross sectional area of the tension member,
tained by the structure illustrated in the acc'om-' panyingdrawings in which;
