My invention relates to improvements in keys for brake shoes, and has for its object, to produce a key of this sort, of simple and economics] construction which will securely lock the brake shoe to the brake head, and further, to provide means ior outonisticsllv locking the key when sealed in the brake head and block so that the ports cannot occidentsily become disengaged.
with these objects in view, my invention comprises :1 key having lugs or herbs on up posit o laces thereof to engage ebutnients on the brake head and shoe to thereby lock the key in place, end the invention also consists in certain other novel features of construction, combination and arrsngL-nnent of ports substantially disclosed herein.
Figure 1, is at side elevation of en ridinary brake head and shoe, having my improved key spilied thereto, a portion of the wheel being shown. Fig. 2, is similar view of the hood and shoe, with psrts broken owey to more fully illustrate the key mount ed therein. Fig. 3, is e perspective view oi the key in detail. Fig. 4, is a similar view of the key in modified form;
My improved key is preferably stmnped or otherwise produced from z single piece ofsheet metal, and the entire key may be produced by the one stamping or forging operation, so that in the manufacture of my key,
the cost of production is reduced to e miniof the same Width and thickness'for its entire outer or convex side, the key is provided.

the pair of cars or lugs 7, and the letter, the lug 8, to he engaged between said ears, both the lug and having openings therethrough to receive the key. The key hen applied to the brake head, posses througl-i on o ening l in the upper portion of the hood, thence through the corresponding openings .in the head and shoe, and the end of the l'IGjT protrudes through on opening 10, in the lower portion of the brake hood. The key is made of spring metal, so that when driven into place, the herbs on the opposite feces thereof engage the lower side of l 3 openiz as in the esrs and heed, and this springing, action, the herbs secure lock the lzey in the brake heed. ii hen d to dirt ssenp his the parts for any re arson, the ljmrhs on 'l face of too key, and the key may then he readily removed by prying or dr ing; it up- Word.
