DISK BRAKE ARRANGED TMX

WIPO Patent Application WO2006062734

B1

A brake rigging for a railway vehicle having a singular truck-mounted brake apparatus for generating a braking force and a plurality of disk caliper assemblies (100) for applying the braking force to each wheel (62). Wedge-like elements (90) are rigidly attached to the braking beams (2, 3) of the truck-mounted brake apparatus and engage a pair of rollers (124, 134) that are pivotably mounted on corresponding ends of a pair of pivoted levers (120, 130) disposed within a disk caliper assembly. The wedge-like elements transmit a generated braking force to the levers, the rocking of which in opposite directions is effective to force the brake shoes against the respective opposite sides of a disc brake rotor to exert the braking force thereon.
