17 Claims. (Cl. 267-9) This invention relates to removable spring groups and more particularly to a friction snubbing device built therein for controlling the oscillation of the loading springs in railway car trucks.
Although railway car trucks now have snubbing or spring oscillation dampening devices integral therewith, it has become necessary to design a spring group package, or unit, complete with built-in snubbing devices that can be easily installed in older railway car trucks.
One general object of this invention is therefore to devise a package spring group with a builtin snubbing device.
Another general object of the invention is the provision of friction control means wherein the capacity of the load springs is supplemented by the friction springs.
A specific object of the invention is to devise a spring group, wherein the physical arrangement is such that the friction assembly will not interfere with the operation of the load spring.
Yet another specific object of the invention is the defining of a snubbing friction shoe that is easily accessible and replaceable.
These and other objects of the invention will become apparent from an examination of the following specification and the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a fragmentary top half plan view of a spring group embodying the invention.
Figure 2 is a side elevatio-nal view of the structure shown in Figure 1 with the left half being shown in section taken along line 22 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is an end elevational view of the structure shown in Figure 1 with the right half being shown in section taken along line 3-3 of Figure 2,
Figure 4 is a side elevational view similar to Figure 2 illustrating another embodiment of the invention, and
Figure 5 is a partial sectional view of the friction shoe taken along the plane indicated by line 5-5 of Figure 2.
Describing the invention in detail and referring first to the embodiment thereof illustrated by Figures 1 to 3, the spring group comprises a plurality of load coil springs 5 interposed between a top spring plate 6 and a bottom spring plate 8. Also included between the plates at each end thereof are friction assemblies 10, each comprising a friction shoe 12 angularly abutting the top plate 6 and supported from the bottom plate 8 by a friction shoe spring 14.
The bottom plate 8 is a relatively flat casting having end walls 16 and side walls 18 cast integrally therewith, all four walls defining a cavity for friction springs 14 and load springs 5. The end walls 16 additionally have friction surfaces 17 on the inboard sides thereof abutting friction surfaces 21) on the outboard sides of friction shoes 12. The bottom plate 8 additionally has lugs 22 and 24 disposed on the floor thereof to position friction springs 14 and load springs 5, respectively.
The top plate 6 is also a flat casting having vertical side walls 26 and vertical end walls 28. Extending outboardly from top plate at each end thereof are bifurcated 2,813,711 Patented Nov. 19,
Disposed on diagonally opposed corners of top plate 6 and bottom plate 8 are retaining lugs 38 and 40, their function being to anchor interconnecting retaining loops 42, which serve to secure the spring group in an assembled position.
The friction shoes 12 are one-piece castings, each comprising a cylindrical structure housing friction spring 14 and having a flat vertical outboard wall 13 on which is disposed friction surface 20, abutting and engaging a friction surface 17 of bottom plate 8. The shoes additionally comprising end wall 20 and arcuate inboard wall 19 and on either side thereof angular walls 21, which are approximately parallel to friction sides 34 of top plate 6 and have friction surfaces 37 engaging friction surfaces 36.
It will be apparent from an examination of Figure 4, wherein is illustrated another embodiment of the invention, that the friction shoe assembly is separated from the load springs by end wall 50 and the assembly is reversed from that of the previous embodiment so that its friction contact with the bottom plate is at the friction surface on the outboard side of the end Wall 50.
Describing the operation of the invention, it will be noted that the weight of the car carried by a bolster, which is supported by the spring group in the usual manner, known to those familiar to the art, exerts a downward vertical pressure on the top plate 6. This pressure of course is greatly increased when a bump is encountered. This pressure is transmitted through friction surface 36 of top plate flange 30 to friction shoe 12 through its friction surface 37, and at the same time friction spring 14 is exerting an upward pressure on friction shoe 12; thus because of the wedge shape of the friction shoe, the pressure from the top and the side combine to force its friction surface 20 against the vertical friction surface 17 of the bottom plate end wall 16, causing a snubbing or dampening the oscillation of the load springs to take place.
This snubbing process is the same, in the case of the embodiment illustrated by Figure 4, even though certain of the parts are in the mentioned reversed position.
To retain spring group in an assembled position for purposes of installation and shipping, a retaining loop 42 may be secured around retaining lugs 38 and 413 on the top plate 6 and bottom plate 8 while spring group is in an assembled condition.
